Mozart and his operas

Mozart and his Operas is derived from the prestigious New Grove Dictionary of Opera, the world's leading reference work on opera. Mozart and his Operas brings together in one affordable volume not only the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life and career, and synopses and appreciations of all his operas from Apollo et Hyacinthus ('Apollo and Hyacinthus') to Die Zauberflvte ('The Magic Flute'), but looks also at the singers and librettists with whom Mozart is most closely associated. A chronological table will help the reader to situate Mozart's operas in the wider context of his life and career, and a glossary will provide readers with concise and informative explanations of any operatic terms used in the text. Generously illustrated, Mozart and his Operas will be an enjoyable and enlightening read for opera lovers of all levels.
