Description:

978-5-7379-0909-3 Kasper G., Kasper K. Brief librettos of Rossini's operas. In the presentation and with commentary of two writers, Compozitor Publishing House Saint-Petersburg

This is the first collection in Russia of brief librettos of all 39 operas by Gioacchino Rossini, one of the greatest opera creators. The presentation of the plots is accompanied by information about the circumstances of the creation of operas, their premieres, as well as video and audio recordings of the best modern productions. Contrary to the habit of the reference genre, all this is told in a fascinating and lively manner, with a clearly perceptible author's intonation. Such work is especially needed in our time, when the grandiose legacy of the author of The Barber of Seville is more and more fully revealed to the world.
