Reseña del editor
Vxtfutt Nthe following pages I have endeavoured to present a clear and comprehensive view of some of the principal operas. So far as I know, there is no work that exactly covers this field. At the best, librettos, even when worthily translated and complete, elucidate only one side of a composition, and the majority of librettos arbitrarily omit whole scenes (sometimes, indeed, whole A cts) that are often important connecting links in the action. The average libretto is untrustworthy as a foil presentment of the composers meaning. It is merely a given managers version of a certain opera. Of course, if we know the whole work, we can understand any version; but if we only know mutilated versions, our ideas of the work are apt to be very confused. Moreover, it is hard for some people to construct the course of the action exclusively from the dialogue and bare stage-directions. Furthermore, the Argument is usually misleading, for it always tells some of the incidents out of the order in which they occur on the stage, and sometimes mentions occurrences as part of the action, whereas they are really only referred to in the dialogue.
