About this book
Plots of one hundred and fifty-one operas are set out here one by one, with critical and biographical remarks and dates for each. The index runs alphabetically from Weber's Abu Hassan through Aida, Carmen, Don Juan, Fidelio, The Flying Dutchman and Hansel and Gretel, naming the composer beside every title.
Charles Annesley's guide is a revised and enlarged edition, dedicated to the soprano Therese Malten and showing portraits of her and of the baritone Karl Scheidemantel. It suits anyone who wants a plot summary before an evening at the opera.
