About the Author

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was a prolific and influential composer. Since its first performance in 1791, The Magic Flute has been a crowd pleasing opera and it remains one of the most celebrated in its genre.

Tosca is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini based on the Victorien Sardou's dramatic playLa Tosca. Tosca is dramatic and beautiful. To this day it is one of the most frequently preformed operas.

Georges Bizet was a French composer, mainly of operas. In a career cut short by his early death, he achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, became one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertory.
