The History of Opera - Richard Fawkes - Audio Book
The History of Opera - Richard Fawkes : Opera, said Moliere, is the most expensive noise known to man.
From its beginnings in the 16th century, through to today when there are as many musical styles as there are composers, opera has fascinated, infuriated, delighted, been censored, been banned,
excited riots, even won a nation its freedom. Here is the colourful story of sometimes temperamental composers and even more temperamental singers working in an art form which has produced some of man's noblest artistic creations.
A very interesting history of the opera with great singers (i.e. Enrico Caruso and Fyodor Chaliapin.). Worth to listen to.
