About this title

Synopsis

Book by Andr�s Batta, Sigrid Neef

Synopsis

More than a conventional opera guide, this book presents more than 300 operas from over 100 composers and describes the history, background and specifics of each in intimate detail. It also considers elements not usually touched upon in guides to the form, introducing the reader to various elements of staging and mise-en-scene.

Store Description

We stock books about art, design, fashion, heritage/history and gender/sexuality, specialising in books about Australian, Asian & Pacific arts, crafts design and cultural history. Since we are committed to marginalised and innovative social and cultural practices, we are more likely to have books on women artists or dissident life than coffee-table books on iconic figures. This shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross area, which has provided alternatives to this country's normalcy and suburbia for the last 80 years. Colloquially known as 'The Cross', this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, streetgangs and a world-famous red light district etc. THE CROSS Art + Books is a foundation member of The Bookdealers Guild (NSW).
