Publisher Description:
"The Great Operas of Giacomo Puccini" is a detailed account of the life and work of Giacomo Puccini by Gustav Kobb , with a particular focus on his operatic compositions. Giacomo Puccini (1858 - 1924) was a famous Italian opera composer. He is often hailed as "the greatest composer of Italian opera after Verdi". His most notable compositions include: "La Boh me" (1896), "Tosca" (1900), "Madama Butterfly" (1904), and "Turandot" (1924). This volume is highly recommended for opera lovers and is not to be missed by those with an interest in the life and work of one of it's greatest figures. Gustav Kobb (1857 - 1918) was an American author and music critic famous for his guide to the operas, "The Complete Opera Book", (1919). Other notable works by this author include: "The Ring of the Nibelung" (1887), "Wagner's Life and Works" (1890), and "New York and its Environs" (1891). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the theatre.
