Music historian Mary Hunter provides a lively introduction to each opera for any listener who has enjoyed a performance, either on the stage or in a recording, and who wishes to understand the opera more fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Companion includes a synopsis and commentary on each work, as well as background information on the three main genres in which Mozart wrote: opera seria, opera buffa and Singspiel. An essay on the 'anatomy' of a Mozart opera points out the musical conventions with which the composer worked and suggests nontechnical ways to think about his musical choices. The book also places modern productions of the operas in historical context and explores how modern directors, producers and conductors present Mozart's works today.
