Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Victor Book of the Opera: Stories of One-Hundred Operas With Five-Hundred Illustrations Descriptions of One-Thousand Victor Opera Records The opera has at last come into its own in the United States. In former years merely the pastime of the well-to-do in New York City and vicinity, grand opera is now enjoyed for its own sake by millions of hearers throughout the country. Boston. Chicago. Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco and Montreal now have their regular opera season; while many other cities have arranged for occasional performances. The Victor Responsible for Much of this Awakened Interest During the recent season several hundred performances of grand opera, at an estimated cost of millions of dollars, were given in the United States. This great outlay for dramatic music alone would not have been possible had it not been for the increased interest aroused in opera by the widespread distribution by the Victor during the past ten years of hundreds of thousands of grand opera records, at widely varying prices - from the double-faced records by well-known Italian and French artists of Europe, at 371/2 cents per selection, to the great concerted numbers by famous singers at $6.00 and $7.00. The Opera-Goer and the Victor Even though fortunate enough to be able to attend the opera, the lover of operatic music is reminded that with the Victor and the operatic records his enjoyment of the opera may be greatly increased. The favorite singers may be beard at home as often as desired, and their voices will he just as natural as in life. Do you think Caruso the greatest of tenors? Then do not be satisfied with an occasional hearing of his glorious voice at the opera, but let him sing for you and your friends by means of the Victor. Is Sembrich, Farrar, Tetrazzini. Gadski, Calve, Schumann-Heink, Homer or Amato your favorite singer? The Victor makes it possible to hear these voices at any time, no matter where the artists may be singing. Voices of Absent Singers Do you regret that Melba is often in Australia or Europe? There is consolation in the thought that her voice is always here in all its loveliness, indelibly impressed on Victor discs. Have you memories of Tamagno when he was at his best? The Victor will revive these memories for you by bringing the voice of this singer back from the grave. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Popular Operas The object of these stories is therefore to enable the reader to follow every motion of the singers, and, even if unfamiliar with the language in which the opera is given, to have a fair idea of all that is said and done. For this reason the plots are told in detail, just as they are given, no attempt being made to embellish or modify them in any Way. Many of the sub jects are trivial, some absurd, and a few so un savory that one often wishes that the beautiful music were connected with more worthy themes. However, such as these operas are, they are given here, in the hope of enhancing the pleas 'ure of all who hear them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Opera Histories of Opera are not very numerous: there have been many articles and essays in various maga zines, dictionaries, and so forth which have presented more or less concise synopses of the gradual develop ment and growth Of the Operatic Art. Some Of these, notably the one in Grove's Dictionary, are excellent, but a work Of such bulk is not for the everyday reader, nor, generally speaking, for the amateur. Beyond these magazine and dictionary essays the number of books - at any rate in the English language - solely on Opera is very limited, and from the nature Of the case, those that exist soon get out Of date.

This entertaining, meticulously researched book also includes a fascinating chapter on American opera from George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess to Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach and a discussion of the gems of twentieth-century opera featuring works like Leos Janácek's The Cunning Little Vixen, Alban Berg's Lulu, and Serge Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges. Whether you're a curious neophyte, a music lover interested in branching out, or an aficionado eager to compare notes with a brilliant fellow opera buff, you'll prize Ticket to the Opera as an essential volume in your music library.

Book Synopsis The Standard Operas by : George P. Upton
Download or read book The Standard Operas written by George P. Upton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Standard Operas: Their Plots and Their Music HE object of the compiler of this Handbook is to present T to the reader a brief but comprehensive sketch of the operas contained in the modern repertory. To this end he has consulted the best authorities, adding to the material thus collected his own observations, and in each case has presented the story of the opera, the general character of its music, its prominent scenes and numbers, - the latter in the text most familiar to opera-goers, - the date of first performances, with a statement of the original cast whenever it has been possible to obtain it, and such historical information concerning the opera and its composition as will be of interest to the reader. As many new Operas have been produced since The Standard Operas was first published in 1885, these have been included in the new edition, although it is as yet uncertain whether some of them will become standard in the strict sense of the Word. In a work of this kind, indeed, the selection of standard operas must be somewhat arbitrary. It is difficult to say where the line should be drawn. The writer's aim has been to acquaint his reader with the prominent Operas of the past and the present, assuming that it may be well to know their story and musical construction whether they retain their places upon the stage or not. In preparing the present edition a few operas have been eliminated entirely. Some which appeared in the first edition have been retained for the reason that they were considered masterpieces in their time and may be of reference value to the.

Download or read book Adventures With the Opera (Classic Reprint) written by Adeline McCall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures With the Opera The chapters which follow are merely adventures in the realm of opera. Recent books which touch upon various phases of the Opera are the basis of the course; selection, therefore, has been somewhat limited. No attempt has been made, nor has it been the intention of the writer, to present the material in any logical or historical sequence. It would be an endless task to try to make selective listings Of music from the operas for each subject. With the weekly Metropolitan broadcasts, and with the many new recordings now available, operatic music is easily within the reach of everyone. There are any number of adequate collections of scores and songs from the operas which can be bought or borrowed. It has, there fore, been left to the individuals who take part in the programs to use any of these means of introducing the music itself. Stories of the operas and librettos are listed in Chapter XII. The books mentioned in this chapter may be borrowed at any time during the course of the year's study.
