Opera belongs to everyone, and its appeal knows no age limit. Clyde Robert Bulla presents twenty-three stories on which his favorite musical dramas are based. They are all so lively and vivid that the reader has the sense of being there as the stories unfold.
The composers presented cover the field well, from Mozart through Rossini, Gounod to Puccini, and Richard Strauss. A brief introduction to each opera gives its origin and tells about its first performance. Biographical notes about each composer are included at the end.
Black and white line drawings by Robert Galster.
