Conducting Opera discusses operas in the standard repertory from the perspective of a conductor with a lifetime of experience performing them. Author Joseph Rescigno, of Local 802 (New York City), opens with a chapter discussing his performance philosophy, then covers operas by Mozart, Rossini, Verdi, Wagner, Bizet, Puccini, and Strauss. The book includes practical advice about propelling a story forward, how to support singers, and staying true to the styles discussed.
