In this beautifully illustrated primer to opera storylines, Fiery, a California-based writer and editor, offers a lively interpretation of more than two dozen classic scores. Each chapter begins with a brief history of the opera at hand before proceeding to an extended, story-like narrative of the plotline. Largely geared towards neophytes who don't already know the twists and tragedies of Rigoletto or I Pagliacci, these opera narratives are engagingly written. But it's Malone's colorful hand-drawn illustrations that turn this primer into a beautiful giftbook for opera fans of all levels. An illustrator of books for both children and adults, Malone (The Magic Flute) provides dozens of playful and sorrowful drawings which complement the book's lovely, storybook design. An index includes the names of the operas, composers, political figures, librettists and singers
