La Traviata owes its enduring popularity to a superb story of young love and fatal sacrifice, set to music by Italy’s master melodist at the peak of his powers. Interest and poignancy are added by the fact that this is a true story - the baritone ‘heavy’ is Alexander Dumas who wrote The Count of Monte Cristo. But it is the central figure, the heroine Violetta, the archetypal ‘whore with the heart of gold’ who dominates the piece. It is her opera and we love her for it.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart vermochte wie keine Zweiter seiner Zeit, die Stärken und Schwächen seiner Opernfiguren suggestiv und plakativ zu modellieren. Durch seine Musik entdeckt er uns zugleich ihre Empfindungen und geheimen Absichten. Durch die Verbindung von tönenden Beispielen und erklärendem Text ermöglicht es dieser klingende Opernführer, die spannende Beziehung zwischen subtiler Innenseite und turbulenter Bühnenhandlung zu erfassen und beim Opernbesuch zu genießen.

Madama Butterfly runs the gamut of operatic emotions. The title heroine has a fragility wonderfully expressed in her entry music, deep sexual instincts as shown in the love duet, and immense tragic stature in her last hours. The fate of Madama Butterfly - married to an American sailor and then abandoned - engages our emotions to a degree equaled by few other opera heroines. The oriental setting and the exquisite orchestral and choral writings are treasured bonuses.

Here is the colorful story of sometimes temperamental composers and even more temperamental singers working in an art form which has produced some of man's noblest artistic creations. This absorbing history is illustrated by over 100 musical examples by Naxos artists as well as some of the greatest singers of the 20th century, including Enrico Caruso and Fyodor Chaliapin.

Opera is the fastest growing of all the performing arts, attracting audiences of all ages who are enthralled by the gorgeous music, vivid drama, and magnificent production values. If you've decided that the time has finally come to learn about opera and discover for yourself what it is about opera that sends your normally reserved friends into states of ecstatic abandon, this is the book for you.

For anyone who has been intimidated, overwhelmed, or just plain confused by what they think opera is, Who’s Afraid of Opera? offers a lively, easy-to-follow guide to what author Michael Walsh describes as “the greatest art form yet invented by humankind.” From opera’s origins in Renaissance Italy to the Who’s rock odyssey “Tommy”, and Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods”, Walsh explores what opera is and what it’s not, what makes a great singer, and why it takes Tristan so long to die.

Così Fan Tutte contains some of Mozart’s most sublime music. On one level, the opera is purely a social anecdote about young people falling in and out of love; but Mozart was a supreme sensualist and a great humanist, and invested the tale with all his understanding of humanity and young love. In this title, David Timson refutes the charge that Mozart squandered his genius on a work full of trivial nonsense and proves this "miraculous yet problematic" opera to be a great work of theatre. To listen to this thought-provoking examination of the characters and the music is both thoroughly enriching and great fun.

Since this rock opera is based on my Baby Boomer generation, the war representing my father was of course WWII. Although my father fought in the South Pacific, this story is more symbolic by starring an American soldier in Europe. During this European theater of war, the soldiers socialized with the citizens of the countries they passed through and fought in. As a result, there were many babies born in Europe with an absent American father.

Die Zauberflöte ist eine der bekanntesten Opern und ein zeitloses Meisterwerk. Schon Kinder pfeifen den „Vogelfänger” und die Rachearie der Königin mit ihren waghalsigen Koloraturen ist unvergesslich.

Warum zürnt die Königin der Nacht dem weisen Sarastro? Warum hat der eigentlich nochmal Pamina in seinen Tempel entführt? Diese Fragen und noch viele mehr wollen wir beantworten.

This thing caught us all unawares. Disney were preparing to launch their new subscription TV channel on March 24, in many European countries, including the UK, just as those countries headed into lockdown. Disney’s course of action was clear: they immediately stopped production on their new content, told the content creators they couldn’t afford to pay them and laid them off, put all their existing content online for free, and appealed to the public for donations to help them through the current crisis.
