5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect guide to Opera, February 15, 2009

By	Jennifer Kalscheuer "SuperJen" (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Norton/Grove History of Opera by Stanley Sadie is a brilliant guide to the history and story of Opera. It is a must have for any opera lover or music history fan. This book is incredibly indepth but it's also very well-organized, thought-out and easy to read (which MOST opera books can not claim). Don't be fooled, this is NOT 'Opera for Dummies' but it IS a comprehensive and well laid-out book that is understandable and interesting. Get one while you still can!
