(3) 4-6 Eight opera plots (mostly from the traditional repertoire) by major composers are retold, and each is interpreted by a different illustrator--Louise Brierley, Emma Chichester Clark, Jane Ray, and five others. Each tale is told from the point of view of participants in the plot, and begins with a lively one-page introduction to the composer. Drawings of the costumes are sprinkled throughout the text.
