I read this after seeing a recorded Metropolitan Opera production, in an attempt to make sense of this opera. RW is not, and probably will never be, my favorite composer, but T&I makes more sense after reading this book.

I don't think I'll ever like this opera, but reading this helped to make sense out of it.

This e-book provides an informative essay on the Flying Dutchman with the libretto in both German and English. Most useful are the inclusion of the musical themes in musical notation. Unfortunately, it is poorly edited with a poor e-book format.

This was an amazing libretto, and the commentary that is given by Fisher is tantalizing in its effects. The story of Aida, besot by the memory of her father, and her jolting lover Radames, is one for the ages indeed. This edition is great, with the effect that it shows the effect of music and has the English version alongside the Italian to allow you to pick up a smattering of it at the very same time. Overall, I was impressed and intrigued, and this libretto will surely not be my last.
