Love, death, madness? After all, in all operas there are lovers, and then they either go crazy or die, or, more rarely, in comedy operas, they find each other... But what is this love like? Hopeless and self-sacrificing, savior or character builder? Does it present you with a choice? Does it test loyalty and steadfastness? Why do you have to die? Out of honor or fate wants it this way?
The latest book of the doctor-author, who wrote several successful books on the subject of opera, tells about such questions. It presents the history and plot of twenty-two operas, as well as the background of historical reality and the literary forerunners of the story.
All of this in such a way that it can provide interesting and new information and arouse interest in opera literature even for readers who are not familiar with operas and who already have a closer familiarity with the works.
