An Introduction to the Dramatic Works of Giacomo Meyerbeer: Operas, Ballets, Cantatas, Plays

Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791-1864) was a great musical dramatist in his own right. This book rediscovers and reassesses Meyerbeer's art - including not just his famous French operas, but also his German and Italian ones - placing them in the context of his entire dramatic oeuvre, including his ballets, oratorios, cantatas and incidental music.
