Oxford’s Who Married Figaro? A Book of Opera Characters

Here is a marvelous guide to over 2,500 operatic characters, along with invaluable synopses of over 250 major works. Each entry provides a full description of the role, indicates its vocal category, and discusses who first created the part and other notable performers.

The content remains a gold mine of information on opera characters, ranging from brief identifications of minor characters to extensive essays of major figures. Readers will find Placido Domingo writing on the character of Otello, perhaps his greatest role.

Bryn Terfel writes on Leporello, Janet Baker on Mary Stuart, Thomas Hampson on Posa, and Theodore Uppman on Billy Budd. Other contributors include Andrew Porter, Sena Junnac, Philip Langridge, Jonathan Miller, Sir Charles MacKerras, and Marie McLaughlin.

From Arabella to Wozzeck and from Aeneas to Zaida, here is a wealth of information on the main characters in the repertoire of both opera and operetta. Both informative and absorbing, it is a must for all opera lovers - an invaluable source of reference for professionals and amateurs alike, and a fascinating read for anyone curious about this beloved musical genre.
