Excerpt from The Operatic Problem
My chief desire was to put it before the public in a form that would arouse interest in the subject. Also, I realised that this information, however valuable, was like the desert, in its unwieldy form, and without any attempt to outline the conclusion to which it led. So after much trepidation of thought I determined to run the gauntlet and march right up to the cannon's mouth with a scheme of my own for the establishment of a system for National Opera in this country.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that England needs a National Opera to support homegrown opera and artists. The author examines opera's origins in Italy and its spread across Europe, noting how state patronage and finance were integral to its success. He examines the models of Italy, Germany, and France, highlighting the benefits of state subsidies, which enable theaters to price seats accessibly, produce new works, and pay artists fairly. In contrast, the author sees England's opera landscape as dominated by expensive, imported productions that do little to foster native talent. The author concludes that a National Opera, funded by the state and dedicated to supporting British composers and performers, would enrich England's cultural life and boost its music industry.
