A Song of Love and Death, The Meaning of Opera
by Peter Conrad
- BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
- 1996

- 381 PAGES
With a chapter entitled "The Ecstasy and Agony of Song," this classic book is anything but an objective report on the state of opera or a historical survey. It is, instead, a personal, vivid rant on the pleasures and significance of opera covering singers, great stages, conductors, composers and, of course, the music. Originally published in 1987.
