About the Book

This book offers an entertaining and stimulating account of the operatic scene, illustrating the breadth of operatic experience available today. It should be of interest both to aficionados and to those unfamiliar with opera. "The Enjoyment of Opera" is a set of some forty-five essays on opera. Most were stimulated by particular performances but place these in the wider context of the circumstances of the occasion and of previous experience of the works and those involved.The author presents the reader with his strongly held views on opera and its performance, ranging from the classical (Monteverdi to Mozart) and the romantic (Beethoven to Richard Strauss) to the modern, both established masterpieces and lesser known and new works. Exploring operas seen both at home (mainly Welsh National Opera productions) and abroad, describing visits to Budapest, Dresden, Riga and Paris, there is a wide range of reviews from amateur to festival performances, concert and semi-staged as well as fully staged productions, including the television transmission of Jerry Springer - the Opera. The final chapter, Further reading, develops further the author's views on opera in the form of reviews of books by David Cairns and by Jane Glover on Mozart, Roger Scruton on Tristan und Isolde and a fascinating book entitled Tosca's Rome by Susan Vandiver Nicassio.
