A Second Book of Operas is a classic opera guide by Henry Edward Krehbiel and a sequel to the author's venerable volume, A Book of Operas. Whether or not the English owe a grudge to their Lord Chamberlain for depriving them of the pleasure of seeing operas based on Biblical stories I do not know. If they do, the grudge cannot be a deep one, for it is a long time since Biblical operas were in vogue, and in the case of the very few survivals it has been easy to solve the difficulty and salve the conscience of the public censor by the simple device of changing the names of the characters and the scene of action if the works are to be presented on the stage, or omitting scenery, costumes and action and performing them as oratorios. Contents: Biblical operas -- Bible stories in opera and oratorio -- Rubinstein and his "Geistlich oper" -- "Samson et Dalila" -- "Die königin von Saba" -- "Hérodiade" -- "Lakmé" -- "Pagliacci" -- "Cavalleria rusticana" -- The career of Mascagni -- "Iris" -- "Madama Butterfly" -- "Der rosenkavalier" -- "Königskinder" -- "Boris Godounoff" -- "Madame Sans-Gêne" and other operas by Giordano -- Two operas by Wolf-Ferrari.

A Book of Operas is a classic music history text that contains these units and introduction: Il barbiere de Siviglia -- Le nozze di Figaro -- Die Zauberflöte -- Don Giovanni -- Fidelio -- Faust -- Mefistofele -- La damnation de Faust -- La traviata -- Aïda -- Der Freischütz -- Tannhäuser -- Tristan und Isolde -- Parsifal -- Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg -- Lohengrin -- Hänsel and Gretel.The history of what is popularly called Italian opera begins in the United States with a performance of Rossini's lyrical comedy "Il Barbiere di Siviglia"; it may, therefore, fittingly take the first place in these operatic studies. The place was the Park Theatre, then situated in Chambers Street, east of Broadway, and the date November 29, 1825. It was not the first performance of Italian opera music in America, however, nor yet of Rossini's merry work. In the early years of the nineteenth century New York was almost as fully abreast of the times in the matter of dramatic entertainments as London. New works produced in the English capital were heard in New York as soon as the ships of that day could bring over the books and the actors. Especially was this true of English ballad operas and English transcriptions, or adaptations, of French, German, and Italian operas. New York was five months ahead of Paris in making the acquaintance of the operatic version of Beaumarchais's "Barbier de Séville."
