Tito Gobbi (24 October 1913 – 5 March 1984) was an Italian operatic baritone with an international reputation. He made his operatic debut in Gubbio in 1935 as Count Rodolfo in Bellini's La sonnambula and quickly appeared in Italy's major opera houses. By the time he retired in 1979 he had acquired a repertoire of almost 100 operatic roles.

For this book, Tito Gobbi has drawn upon the experiences of a lifetime as interpreter, producer and teacher to analyse sixteen Italian operas, discussing each one's place in history, the importance of every character, above all the clues to interpretation that are to be found - but are often.

For this book, Tito Gobbi has drawn upon the experiences of a lifetime as interpreter, producer and teacher to analyse sixteen Italian operas, discussing each one's place in history, the importance of every character, above all the clues to interpretation that are to be found - but are often ignored - in the libretto and score. He also discusses the more technical aspects of voice, costume and make-up, and has an interesting chapter on the vital importance of the small part.

Tito Gobbi, a world famous baritone, produced operas for years at the Chicago Lyric Opera and stipulates that the main concern should be what the composer envisioned. Respect of the composer should be absolutely paramount and Tito Gobbi describes in easy to follow details how such productions and, of course, what singer do, how they react to others, et. should be based on the music alone. He feels that composers have said it all and whether you prefer classical productions or updated ones, the music, . the composer, should have the last word about how the the production should work
