ler totalmente Opera Explained: A Visual Guide to the World’s Greatest Operas

Opera can feel distant—formal, complex, and difficult to approach. Opera Explained removes that barrier.

This book is designed for clarity. Each opera is reduced to its essential elements and presented on a single page: who the key characters are, what happens, and why it matters. No musical knowledge is required. No academic language. Just the story.

Each text plate is paired with a visual plate—an original painterly illustration capturing a defining moment. These are not decorative images. They are constructed scenes designed to engage immediately, provoke curiosity, and draw the reader into the drama.

Across 30 of the world’s most important operas—from Mozart and Verdi to Wagner, Puccini, and beyond—you will encounter stories driven by love, power, obsession, betrayal, and sacrifice. While the settings vary, the human conflicts remain familiar and direct.

This book is not about memorising detail. It is about recognising the shape of each story and feeling its impact.

If you have ever been curious about opera but did not know where to begin, this is your entry point.

Inside the book:

• 30 major operas explained in clear, concise language
• One-page structured breakdowns: context, characters, story, meaning
• 30 dramatic, painterly visual plates
• A chronological timeline for historical context
• Designed for quick understanding and lasting impression

Opera is theatre. This book lets you see it clearly.
