-
Useful for Italian speakers for finding information about an opera or another large work with a libretto, such as the author of the libretto, the composer of the music, the plot or meaning of the work, the places at which it was performed, whether or not dancers were used, and so forth.
-
Covers 1,829 titles, which include oratorios, operas, and smaller works that included a libretto. It appears to cover only the Western European and American music, and is published in Italian. It seems to include works published from the early 1700's on.
-
Split into two large sections, with several indexes at the back. The first section is a catalog of libretti, and the second section is a catalog of smaller works, such as oratorios and melodramas. Each entry includes the title of the libretto, what it is about, who wrote music for it, what type of music (opera, oratorio, etc.), the year it was published, performers from the premiere, theaters at which it was performed, and the number of pages in the libretto. There are indexes for the author of the text, composer, singers, orchestra members, and choreographers and dancers.
-
It lists a lot of information, which is very useful. Includes pieces that are less known, also places in Italy that are less known where operas where composed and perform.
