Book Synopsis The Story of Opera (Classic Reprint) by : E. Markham Lee
Download or read book The Story of Opera (Classic Reprint) written by E. Markham Lee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 314 pages. 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in the English language - solely on Opera is very limited, and from the nature Of the case, those that exist soon get out Of date.

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.

Book Synopsis Adventures With the Opera (Classic Reprint) by : Adeline McCall
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 52 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Opera There is a very strong tendency at the present day to represent great works without cuts and entirely in accordance with the composer's inten tions. The reverence of the Wagnerites for their idol is responsible for this movement, which has now spread to the works of Mozart. There is therefore no necessity for me to apologize for treat ing each work as fully as limited space would allow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Phantom of the Opera I was immensely interested by this story of the Persian. I wanted, if there were still time, to find this valuable and eccentric witness. My luck began to improve and I discovered him in his little at in the Rue de Rivoli, where he had lived ever since and where he died five months after my Visit. I was at first inclined to be suspicious; but when the Persian had told me, with child-like candor, all that he knew about the ghost and had handed me the proofs of the ghost's existence-including the strange correspond ence of Christine Daae - to do as I pleased with, I was no longer able to doubt. No, the ghost was not a myth! I have, I know, been told that this correspondence may have been forged from first to last by a man whose imagination had certainly been fed on the most seductive tales; but fortunately I discovered some of Christine's writing outside the famous bundle of let ters and, on a comparison between the two, all my doubts were removed. I also went into the past history of the Persian and found that he was an up right man, incapable of inventing a story that might have defeated the ends of justice.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tancredi: A Tale of the Opera; A Novel The wounded youth, Jarl the Miller's Boy, as he was called, was raised to his feet, and it was found that his right arm was frightfully lacerated. His face was ashy pale, but he uttered no word of distress. There was something wicked and startling in the proud bearing of his compact, graceful form, blemished though it was by torn garb and mangled arm. There was a look of mingled hate and defiance in his pallid face as he glared on the fierce brute now being dragged away by the servant, - a look so strik ing in its wild brave beauty that would attract the attention of the most indifferent looker-on.
