Staging Scenes From The Operas Of Donizetti And Verdi: A Guide For Directors And Performers

Veteran opera director William Ferrara walks the reader through the staging of twenty-five scenes from two of opera s most beloved composers. He brings to life Donizetti s delightful comedies, L Elisir d amore, La fille du regiment, and Don Pasquale, and guides us through the dark world of Lucia di Lammmermoor. He discusses the difficult moral choices in Verdi s tragedies, La traviata and Un ballo in maschera, and invigorates the grisly melodramas of Rigoletto and Il Trovatore."
