Kluge and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Standard Light Operas, Their Plots and Their Music" by George P. Upton is a comprehensive reference handbook written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the plots and musical elements of various light operas and operettas, aimed at enriching the understanding and appreciation of these popular performances for general audiences rather than musicians or scholars. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intention to address the growing popularity of light operas by providing readers with details about notable pieces and their respective stories. Upton notes the challenges of selecting "standard" works due to the overwhelming number of operettas and musical comedies being produced at the time. He emphasizes a more accessible discussion of the operas featured in the book, indicating that the texts will be described for enjoyment rather than in-depth critique, to cater to the opera-goers’ interests. Through this introduction, readers gain insight into what they can expect in terms of both the selection of works covered and the author's approach to their discussion.
