Kobbe is the world's leading reference work on opera, and (in the words of Bernard Levin) 'no single-volume operatic guide can possibly compare with it'. But The New Kobbe's opera book, edited by the Earl of Harewood and Anthony Peattie, is a large and relatively expensive book. This condensed edition has all the essential information at your fingertips on over 200 operas all those currently in the repertoire of the world's leading opera companies, as well as many that are more rarely performed. For most operas there is a full summary of the plot and libretto, a brief commentary on the music, and details of its performance history. The work of editing and condensing has been carried out by the Earl of Harewood, assisted by Michael Shmith.
