Opera is often dismissed as outdated and excessive, and perceived to be characterised by excessive passions, sumptuous costumes and ill-mannered divas. In reality, however, operas address the most fundamental and universal of human concerns – love, death, jealousy, greed, and power.
Revealing the diverse reasons behind opera’s lasting appeal, opera champion and expert Alexandra Wilson provides a lucid and engaging introduction to the agendas that have governed its composition, production and reception over the last four centuries, and explains the reasons behind its enduring appeal.
