Title: Eleven operas are described within a historical context.
Review: The book's title can lead to misunderstanding. If you want to learn about opera from "scratch", if you don't mind being tought how to purchase a ticket for instance. Other items in the book (for instance the "complete" list of opera houses over the world) are maybe for rather advanced operagoers. For a musician there are definitly more useful books and the far too often used term COMPLETE makes me really sick - what word are they going to use if eventually something will be complete!?
