Stories Of The Great Operas
By Ernest Newman
Published by Garden City Publishing Co Inc: New York 1948

"Ernest Newman's Stories of the Great Operas (Garden City Publishing Co., New York, 1948) presents an engaging and authoritative retelling of the plots, characters, and themes of the world's most celebrated operas. One of the 20th century's foremost music critics, Newman distils complex works by composers such as Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, and Puccini into vivid narratives that preserve their emotional and dramatic essence. His lucid prose makes the often intricate librettos accessible to general readers, offering both context and insight into the human passions that drive the art form.

The book also reflects Newman's deep understanding of opera as a synthesis of music, poetry, and theatre, highlighting how each masterpiece embodies its composer's distinctive spirit and era. Blending scholarship with storytelling, it serves as both a guide for newcomers and a companion for seasoned opera lovers. This volume would appeal to admirers of classical music, students of performance history, and collectors of mid-century music literature seeking an eloquent introduction to the grand tradition of opera."
