The subtitle of the book is: A Journey into the Psychodynamics of Italian Opera
Below is a picture of the book and a brief description of its content.
The back cover of the book reads:
"The book presents human interaction in seven masterpieces of Italian Opera.
The composer is regarded as a keen and sensitive observer of the human scene
who uses musical language and text to tell a real life story. Characters are
portrayed in dynamic situstions; these are interepreted in psychodynamic terms.
Emphasis is placed on the composer's ability to create drama; the composer's
musical skills and use of the libretto are in the service of the drama. The use
of music is no different in opera than are the words in a play or novel. The
composer combines music, words and venue to create a personal, individual
work."
