The Operatic Problem is a book written by William Johnson Galloway and published in 1902. The book discusses the challenges faced by the operatic industry at the time, including the decline in popularity of operas and the lack of innovation in the genre. Galloway explores the reasons behind these issues and proposes solutions to revive the art form. He argues that the operatic industry needs to adapt to modern times and embrace new technologies, such as phonographs and motion pictures, to attract a wider audience. The book also includes a historical overview of the development of opera and its various styles. Overall, The Operatic Problem is a thought-provoking analysis of the state of opera in the early 20th century and a call to action for its revival.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
