- Summary:
- For more than seventy years, Kobbe has been the preeminent name in opera reference. And now, for the first time, The Portable Kobbe's Opera Guide offers the authority and the wealth of operatic lore with which the name Kobbe is synonymous, in a concise edition.
- From Monteverdi, Purcell, and Handel, to Gluck and Mozart, to the great masters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, essential information is included for more than two hundred operas. The works covered feature all of those currently in the repertories of the world's opera companies, as well as many that are performed more rarely.
