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in the English language - solely on Opera is very limited, and from the nature Of the case, those that exist soon get out Of date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner Opera Stories Stories hold the same relative position in the development of children that liter ature does in the life of the adult. They give to the child a broader glimpse of life than his own little world can afford him. They bring to him richer and more varied experiences than it is possible for him to pass through personally. In the right kind of stories are made possible all those splendid might be's which like giants battle down the prison walls of fear and give to the soul the courage to bring to light its fair ideals and beautiful dreams and thus change life from dull prose to glorious poetry. One does not need a lengthy conversation with a man or woman to discover whether his or her childhood has been passed in the common.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Wagner Opera Naturally a scholar and a dreamer, Rienzi would probably never have seen the necessity of such a thing, or ventured to attempt it, had he not seen his own little brother wantonly slain during one of the usual frays between the Orsini and Colonna factions. The murderer, a scion of the Colonna family, considered the mat ter as so trivial that he never even condescended to excuse himself, or to offer any redress to the injured parties, thus filling Rienzi's heart with a bitter hatred against all the patrician race. Secretly and in silence the young enthusiast matured his revolutionary plans, winning many adherents by his irresistible eloquence, and patiently bided his time until a suitable oppor tunity occurred to rally his partisans, openly, defy the all-powerful barons, and restore the old freedom and prosperity to Rome.
