The Operas of Alessandro Scarlatti, Volume VIII - Tigrane (Paperback)

Donald Grout's widely praised edition of the work of a key figure in the history of opera provides the most reliable version of the score for each opera, appending a translation of the libretto. These volumes are "at once practical and unquestionably scholarly" in the words of Opera Journal. A tale of love and honor in the "opera seria" tradition, "Tigrane" was first performed at Naples in 1715. This edition of it will please performance groups and music historians alike.
