Description

Third edition, revised and corrected. The first edition was published in 1943. Original editorial red cloth with gilt lettering on spine, in editorial dustwrapper, minimal signs of wear of dw with negligible crease on margins, book in excellent conditions throughout, overall a nice copy. Classic and important reference on opera compiled by Alfred Loewenberg, with an introduction by Edward J. Dent, arranged in chronological order, with various extensive indexes, still a valuable source of information on music operas and their early performances in various theatres. “Annals of Opera 1597-1940 is a monument of painstaking research, convenient arrangement and editorial skill .” (Grove’s DIctionary of Music and Musicians)
