Published by the Victor Talking Machine Company in numerous editions from 1912 onwards, it was designed to help music lovers understand and enjoy opera while promoting the company’s gramophone recordings. The 1919 fifth revised edition describes more than 110 operas, featuring plot summaries, historical and production notes, illustrations and photographs of celebrated singers in costume, together with catalogues of available Victor recordings. Covering works by composers such as Mozart, Verdi, Puccini and Wagner, the book provides a fascinating snapshot of operatic culture and early twentieth-century recorded music. Today, it is valued by collectors and music historians for its detailed illustrations, historical information and insight into the early recording industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI','sans-serif'; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eThis item is second-hand and is sold as is.
