The experiences of a lifetime as interpreter, producer and teacher to analyse sixteen Italian operas, discussing each one's place in history, the importance of every character, above all the clues to interpretation that are to be found - but are often ignored - in the libretto and score. He also discusses the more technical aspects of voice, costume and make-up, and has an interesting chapter on the vital importance of the small part. Finally he treats the reader to miniature portraits of the composers he has known over the years, from the exotic Wolf-Ferrari with his Daimler and Great Dane to the modest and appreciative creator of L'Arlesiana, Francesco Cilea. With illustrations. / This is a 1st edition hardback with its dustjacket in good condition-the dustjacket is a little creased. (265 pages & 24 pages of photography).
