This publication is a significant treatise that focuses on the challenges facing opera as an art form in England, particularly considering its accessibility and the lack of a national opera system when compared to other European countries. Galloway advocates for the establishment of a nationally-subsidized opera house in England to enhance the cultural offerings available to the public. In the book, Galloway outlines the historical roots of opera and its evolution across Europe, emphasizing the successes of State-supported opera in countries like Italy, Germany, and France. He argues that England has mostly imported opera rather than fostering its own, leading to missed opportunities for cultivating local talent. Through detailed comparisons of European systems, he presents a vision for an English National Opera that emphasizes native productions while making opera accessible to broader audiences. He believes that this initiative would not only revive English operatic traditions but also have significant social and economic benefits for the community. Ultimately, Galloway's proposition serves both as a heartfelt plea for the arts and a pragmatic approach to enhancing British culture. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
