The A–Z of Opera 2nd edition has been expanded to include even more composers, operas, and 130 bonus tracks. The 1100-page book details the lives of hundreds of opera composers, and like the range of Naxos recordings itself, this set highlights the extraordinary breadth of opera and its composers across the centuries; a rich and inspiring resource for anyone!
