Opera is all about intense emotion, magical music and overwhelming theatrical spectacle. The Knowledge: Opera is an exciting new guide, in which the many myths that surround opera are exploded, while its transformation from inaccessible high art to affordable, dramatically realistic and easy-to-encounter drama is revealed.

The powerful principal players in the opera world - the maestros, superstar divas and directors - are examined in fascinating detail, and questions are asked of opera’s future in a world where such extravagant entertainment can seem at odds with the rest of today’s popular culture. Whether you are completely new to the genre or a regular opera-goer wanting to learn more, Opera makes for essential reading.
