Book Reviews of American Opera (Music in American Life)
Book Review: Kirk's book is THE definitive source on American Opera
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to know about how opera developed in the United States - this is the book.
If you want to know about American operas and their composers (even the early obscure ones)- this is the book.
Very thorough, well-researched, and not a bad read either.
Kirk has really given us a treasure.
