Kobbe's Complete Opera Book
Hard cover, very good condition. (1961)
Kobbe's Complete Opera Book is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the world of opera, originally authored by American music critic Gustav Kobbé and first published posthumously in 1919. The book offers detailed synopses of over 200 operas, spanning from the Baroque era to the early 20th century, and includes musical notations of 400 significant arias and motifs. In 1954, the work was revised and expanded by the Earl of Harewood, resulting in a more up-to-date edition that incorporated new operas and developments in the operatic world. The 1997 revision, titled The New Kobbé's Opera Book, further updated the content and included additional works, reflecting the evolving landscape of opera. This book remains a valuable resource for both opera enthusiasts and scholars, providing insights into the narratives, music, and historical context of a vast array of operatic works.ore details please contact us or visit us in store.
