Es una historia realmente abarcativa de la ópera hasta 1980 más o menos. Le presta mucha atención a las diferencias de los países y sus tradiciones. No le da tanta importancia como me hubiera gustado a los aspectos sociales (público, empresarios, compañías), pero logra transmitir el entusiasmo que es la base del amor por la ópera.
