[http://0-www.oxfordreference.com.library.acaweb.org/views/BOOK_SEARCH.html?book=t261 '''''The Grove Book of Operas''''']
Synopses and descriptions of over 250 operas
First published in 1996 to great critical and popular acclaim, the ''Grove Book of Operas'', is a collection of synopses and descriptions of over 250 [[operas]]. Each succinct yet [[insight]]ful entry is written by a leading [[authority]] on the opera and includes a full synopsis of the [[plot]], a cast list, a note on the singers in the original production, and [[information]] on the origins of the work and its literary and social background. Contributions conclude with a brief comment on the particular work's place in operatic [[history]].
The second edition brings the book up to date with several recently composed operas. Recent additions to the operatic repertory included for the first time in this edition include Nicholas Maw, Sophie's Choice; Poul Ruders, A Handmaid's Tale; John Adams, Death of Klinghoffer; and Mark Adamo, Little Women. Covering all operas in the current repertory along with some less-well-known early and very modern ones, this is an [[ideal]] volume for the general opera lover.
