Book Description
A guided tour of the great operas from Orfeo to Porgy and Bess In simple, easy-to-understand language, Sacher introduces the reader to the great operas. Focusing on well-known excerpts of 15 key works, the writing glides through the libretto and accompanying music, directing the readers attention to significant moments in the piece and explaining how to listen for them. Opera is designed to appeal to the novice as well as the afficionado by providing both introductory information on the standard and the lesser-known repertoire, as well as in-depth analysis of key passages. Jack Sacher is Professor of Music and Humanities at Montclair State University. He has lectured at and served on the board of the Metropolitan Opera Guild and has written two editions of the Art of Sound with James Eversole (Prentice-Hall, 1979 & 1977). He has been the music director of the Oratorio Society of New Jersey since 1988.
