    About this ebook

    “The Great Operas of Vincenzo Bellini” is a detailed account of the life and work of Vincenzo Bellini by Gustav Kobbé, with a particular focus on his operatic compositions. Vincenzo Bellini (1801 – 1835) was an famous Italian opera composer. Notable operas by this composer include: “Adelson e Salvini” (1825), “Bianca e Gernando” (1826), and “II Pirata” (1827). This vintage volume is highly recommended for opera lovers and is not to be missed by those with an interest in the life and work of one of it's greatest figures. Gustav Kobbé (1857 – 1918) was an American author and music critic famous for his guide to the operas, “The Complete Opera Book”, (1919). Other notable works by this author include: “The Ring of the Nibelung” (1887), “Wagner's Life and Works” (1890), and “New York and its Environs” (1891). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the theatre.

      A History of The Theatre

      'The Theatre' is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the experience of a real or imagined event. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music, and dance, with elements of art, stagecraft and set design used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience. The specific place of the performance is also named by the word ‘theatre’ – derived from the Ancient Greek word théatron, meaning ‘a place for viewing’, itself from theáomai, meaning ‘to see’, ‘watch’ or ‘observe’.

      Modern Western theatre largely derives from ancient Greek drama, from which it borrows technical terminology, classification into genres, and many of its themes, stock characters, and plot elements. The city-state of Athens is where ‘theatre’ as we know it originated, as part of a broader culture of theatricality and performance in classical Greece that included festivals, religious rituals, politics, law, athletics, music, poetry, weddings, funerals, and symposia. Participation in the city-state's many festivals – and
