About this book
Wagner's Nibelung Ring, Aida, Carmen and Il Trovatore are among the operas retold here for young readers, together with Gilbert and Sullivan's Pinafore and works by Balfe and Flotow. The editor chose a few operas and told each fully rather than sketch many.
Each chapter describes the story and the music, with notation examples. The foreword admits that some of the operas are poor but were popular when grandparents went to the opera. It notes why the Ring was picked: its four operas are full of story and music, and the least understood. The frontispiece is a detail of Arthur Rackham's 1910 painting of Brünnhilde. The title page credits Dolores Bacon.
