subject is the composer's ideas as they appear in his operas. The book  written for the
operagoer and the admirer of Puccini's operas in addition to the musicologist  has chapters on
all of Puccini's operas and divides them into three general categories: myth and vision  God 
religion  and the Roman Catholic Church  and economics  politics  and society. Within these
three subdivisions  this study explores the growth of Puccini's thought and dramatic skill. In
this book John DiGaetani analyzes the operas as artistic reflections of Puccini's intellectual
and dramatic development. The book includes translations of many of the composer's own verses
