The work is in six sections: the operas, the composers, the great interpreters, the world's top-25 opera houses, a history and a glossary. Of course it's not comprehensive, some of the information is a little outdated and the sound quality is not wonderful, but this is a tremendous introduction to the world of opera. One impressive feature is that unlike many works aimed at a wide audience it does not shirk the 20th century, offering extracts of 20 of the century's great operas.
Artist biographies have audio excerpts, complete with the score, and as a bonus there are five marvellous video clips, including Callas, Sutherland and Pavarotti--all in black and white, but well worth including. The history section has direct links to audio examples and even a few seconds provide a flavour of the work which no printed volume could ever hope to achieve. --Keith Clarke
This software is a stirring invitation to a sound and sight voyage into this multifaceted universe: the 100 greatest operas, their composers and interpreters and 25 great theatres throughout the world--showcases that have made these operas live more than four centuries--as well as a history of opera and a musical glossary.
