STORIES OF THE GREAT OPERAS and Their Composers by Ernest Newman
This is a beautiful, vintage collectible compilation of classic favorite operas in three volumes (see photos for list of operas included). According to the author's note, the aim of this book is to tell the story of each opera accompanied by a descriptive analysis of the music. This is the perfect book (gift) for any opera lover.
Bound in a deep red linen with an etched floral pattern on the front cover and a repeated gilt floral pattern along with gilt lettering down the spine. Fading on the spine. Hinges and joints are in good condition. Some slight foxing and staining throughout along with a few minor rips (no text is affected).
