The History of Opera For Beginners

Opera For Beginners is a humorous, little book that starts with the radical assumption that Opera is just plain old music, rather than the highbrow, inaccessible music that everyone assumes it to be. The reader will learn the difference between Italian and German Opera and why you don't have to study a new language to enjoy Opera.

Opera For Beginners is an ideal introduction for people who are convinced that opera is solely for those refined few who were born listening to arias.
