This work has a double object. Every great opera has a two-fold character; the two component parts are supreme music and supreme romance. The aim of this work is to tell the stories accompanied by a descriptive analysis of the music. The point of view assumed is that of the ordinary music lover who, though an ardent follower of opera, has neither time, nor opportunity, nor aptitude, to study scores and musical history and biography for himself. The main object has been to give such a person all the information he requires for a thorough understanding of what is going on in front of him on the stage.
"Provides a short biography of the composer along with the narrative story of the opera. There is also a full descriptive analysis of the music including illustrative musical quotations."
