A very sweet book of its time, with an overview of the history of opera and synopses, with musical excerpts, of most of the major operas being staged between the wars. The introduction gives this book a welcoming tone, designed to provide guidance to listeners across the USA to those famous Saturday Metropolitan Opera broadcasts, in an era before television and in-theatre surtitles.
Cover says, "The Authorized Edition of the Metropolitan Opera Guild, Inc."
