The Da Capo Opera Manual

The Da Capo Opera Manual by Nicholas Ivor Martin.
Absolutely the BEST opera reference book out there! Each listing includes locations/sets, number of acts/scenes, major arias, hazards of production (e.g., avalanches), categorization of roles, dance/chorus movement, and more. Other features include a listing of arias, alphabetically and by voice part; and, as operas are listed alphabetically by title, indices by composer and librettist. If your local library doesn't have one, try Amazon.
