This book, 'A Brief History of Opera', is a guide for both fans of traditional opera and those interested in avant-garde music. Jesús Trujillo explores the consolidation of opera from its beginnings in the 17th and 18th centuries with Gluck and Mozart, to the transformations with Italian and French composers such as Rossini and Bizet, and Wagnerian musical drama. Its adaptation in various cultures is examined and space is dedicated to the innovative and socially conscious proposals that have maintained the vitality of the genre, from post-verismo to the Vienna School and beyond. The musical and literary analysis of representative operas, both known and forgotten, complements the characterization of schools and trends, along with notes on conductors, set designers and singing schools, including a section on Falla and Spanish opera. This book is a complement to 'The Opera Book' by José María Martín Triana.
