"...something real lies, I believe, in the very nature of grand oepra itself, and is a form of realism practically impossible to achieve in spoken drama. Spoken drama, because it deals in dialogue and action only, must focus on those comparatively few moments in our lives when something important is happening, usually in the presence of others. Such moments, however dramatic they may be, are likely to be less imtimately real" - from the Preface. Book about Aida, Carmen, Don Giovanni, Faust, Lohengrin & La Traviata. Arranged by Albert Sirmay. Illustrations by Rafaello Busoni. Translated by George Mead. (Music, Music, Music Appreciation, Opera).
