A vivid doorway into the nineteenth-century listening room, Chapters Of Opera lights up long-kept debates about what makes opera great and why audiences return to it again and again. Henry Edward Krehbiel's sharp, human voice surveys operatic history through essays on performance, criticism, and repertoire, inviting music lovers and scholars to think with both heart and mind. This collection blends clear, thoughtful analysis with a sense of wonder at the art's living pulse. It charts the european opera scene with care for late nineteenth-century context, tracing the italian opera giants and the german tradition while weighing how performance practice, staging, and reception shaped a genre in movement. For musicology students and casual enthusiasts alike, the pages offer both dense insight and accessible eloquence, a bridge between literary culture and concert hall memory. In a world hungry for authentic artefacts, this volume is more than a reprint. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A thoughtfully curated introduction to operatic history, it will satisfy serious readers who crave depth and the many who simply love opera's enduring drama.
