Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Andrew Lloyd Webber is the most famous - and most controversial - composer of musical theatre alive today. Hundreds of millions of people have seen his musicals, which include Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Starlight Express, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, and Sunset Boulevard. Even more know his songs. Lloyd Webber's many awards include seven Tonys and three Grammys, but he has nonetheless been the subject of greater critical vitriol than any of his artistic peers. Why have both the man and his work provoked such extreme responses? Does he challenge his audiences, or merely recycle the comfortable and familiar? Over three decades, how has Lloyd Webber changed fundamentally what a musical can be? In this sustained examination of Lloyd Webber's creative career, the music scholar John Snelson explores the vast range of influences that have informed Lloyd Webber's work, from film, rock, and pop music to Lloyd Webber's own life story. This rigorous and sympathetic survey will be essential reading for anyone interested in Lloyd Webber's musicals and the world of modern musical theatre that he has been so instrumental in shaping. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From Glyndebourne to the Kings Head, in the flesh and streamed online: opera is reaching a broader audience than ever before. With over 400 years of history, and a beguiling mix of musical motifs, costumes, storytelling and song, opera has fascinated and enthralled audiences for centuries. However it can also cast the impression of an intimidating high-art form, inaccessible to the uninitiated. How to Enjoy Opera is an engaging, illuminating primer which will demystify the world of opera. John Snelson, who has worked at Londons world-famous Royal Opera House in Covent Garden for over 15 years, gives his expert insight into how to absorb an opera and understand its inner workings. Aimed at newcomers to the art form as well as long-time fans, this book will help the reader to absorb and understand any opera: with examples drawn from more than 45 composers and just over 100 operas included. There are references to some of the most famous of all opera moments, sometimes from less familiar perspectives, but also to lesser-known works. This book decodes many of the elements that opera composers and librettists put into their operas that give enjoyment to audiences, in the hope that readers can gain greater enjoyment from their future viewing and listening too. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. 1985. 144pp. B&W illustrations. "English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original where appropriate. Although it is impossible to trace any one particular theme running through the operas of Michael Tippett, the libretti of his four operas are fascinating to compare. The dense allusions of The Midsummer Marriage (1955), here annotated, gave way to the classical formality of King Priam (1962); the psycho-analytical preoccupations of The Knot Garden (1970) hardly foreshadow the contemporary political commentary of The Ice Break (1977). Each work breaks new ground and provokes unexpected responses. The libretti offer unique introductions to the music. They incidentally throw a searching light on the direction of British theatre since 1945." Slight wear to corners, otherwise in very good condition with no inscriptions.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A celebratory summary of one of the greatest of operatic events at one of the greatest of world opera houses, this work charts the story of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Royal Opera House from the first staging in 1892 - conducted by Gustav Mahler - through to the increasingly contraversial productions of the late 20th century. Each chapter is richly illustrated to evoke the character of the productions and their times. The pictorial record, drawn from the Archives at the Royal Opera House, includes many images never published before: costume and set designs, singers, posters, productions in performance. This 100-year history also highlights changing approaches to Wagner on stage: early naturalistic styles, pared-down in the 1950s and 60s, dramatically individual with more recent directors, concluding in this collection with Richard Jones's 'absurdist' approach in the mid-1990's. Giant names of the wagner world run through this Royal Opera story, both conductors and performers: from Marie Brema to Gwyneth Jones, from Bruno Walter to Bernrad Haitink. An appendix - more a roll call of the great Wagnerians - lists all the performers and their principal casting from 1892 on. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
