A History of OperaWhy has opera transfixed and fascinated audiences for centuries? Carolyn Abbate and Roger Parker answer this question in their effervescent, witty (Die Welt, Germany) retelling of the history of opera, examining its development, the musical and dramatic means by which it communicates, and its role in society. Now with an expanded examination of opera as an institution in the twenty first century, this lucid and sweeping (Boston Globe) narrative
Why has opera transfixed and fascinated audiences for centuries? Carolyn Abbate and Roger Parker answer this question in their effervescent, witty (Die Welt, Germany) retelling of the history of opera, examining its development, the musical and dramatic means by which it communicates, and its role in society. Now with an expanded examination of opera as an institution in the twenty-first century, this lucid and sweeping (Boston Globe) narrative explores the tensions that have sustained opera over four hundred years: between words and music, character and singer, inattention and absorption. Abbate and Parker argue that, though the genre s most popular and enduring works were almost all written in a distant European past, opera continues to change the viewer physically, emotionally, intellectually with its enduring power."Binding Type: Paperback

I love it! It’s perfect for holding my purse and keeping my vitamins organized and easy to reach. It’s very easy to assemble, sturdy, and fits nicely over the door. A simple but very useful organizer that helps keep things neat and saves space.

These are great!
Color: White-1 Basket
I have two of these organizer and they’re great. One is in my bathroom and it’s held up for over six months, and I just got a new one. Great quality, looks nicer than the typical over the doors.
