Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures With the Opera The chapters which follow are merely adventures in the realm of opera. Recent books which touch upon various phases of the Opera are the basis of the course; selection, therefore, has been somewhat limited. No attempt has been made, nor has it been the intention of the writer, to present the material in any logical or historical sequence. It would be an endless task to try to make selective listings Of music from the operas for each subject. With the weekly Metropolitan broadcasts, and with the many new recordings now available, operatic music is easily within the reach of everyone. There are any number of adequate collections of scores and songs from the operas which can be bought or borrowed. It has, there fore, been left to the individuals who take part in the programs to use any of these means of introducing the music itself. Stories of the operas and librettos are listed in Chapter XII. The books mentioned in this chapter may be borrowed at any time during the course of the year's study.
