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.
