Summary:

Vienna was the glory of the music world for 350 years, as this affectionate portrayal of that city's opera attests. Neither a documentary history nor a strict chronology, it offers chapters on Vienna opera prior to 1869, the architecture of the Vienna Opera House, the directors and their ensembles, set design and costumes, the opera ballet, and the orchestra. A list of major premieres and a bibliography are included.
