About this book
The Standard Operaglass by Charles Annesley contains the detailed plots of celebrated operas with critical and biographical remarks. One plot summary has a man entreat others to change their course, his only thought being Donna Ines' safety, but Pedro, delighted to have his rival in his power, orders him to be bound and shot.
A plot summary that names Selica says she resides as Queen on the Isle of Madagascar, where the people render her homage but her priests demand the strangers' lives as a sacrifice to their gods. A summary describes a first scene in a little village in Spain, where a student, Don Gaston Piratos, bids farewell to his fellows, and where Gaston flirts with Ines, the charming daughter of a cunning host. One remark says that a text is well done, though not important enough for three acts, with two quite sufficient.
