First published in 1996 to great critical and popular acclaim, The Grove Book of Operas brings together synopses and descriptions of over 250 leading operas, complemented by more than one hundred illustrations and halftones. Each succinct yet insightful entry is written by a leading authority on the opera and includes a full synopsis of the plot, a cast list, a note on the singers in the original production, and information on the origins of the work and its literary and social background. Contributions conclude with a brief comment on the particular works place in operatic history. A glossary offers brief and accessible definitions of terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader. And indices of role names and of arias and ensembles allow the reader to find operas containing their favorite aria or a well-known character. This second edition brings the book up to date with several recently composed operas and a fascinating introductory essay by David Levin on opera performance in the 21st century. Recent additions to the operatic repertory included for the first time in this edition include Nicholas Maw, Sophies Choice; Poul Ruders, A Handmaids Tale; John Adams, Death of Klinghoffer; and Mark Adamo, Little Women. Now offered in paperback for the first time, this is a book that should be on the shelf of every opera fan.Binding Type: Paperback

Good Compact Design
Color: Black
Attractive design and space to store the dish brush and or sponge. My only criticism is that the pump spout is quite narrow so the liquid soap skims over and not that much is released with each pump.

Bad product, cannot recommend
Color: Black
This product didn't work well at all. The material gets smudged and dirty extremely easily and it's impossible to get it clean. It's also very heavy, but not in a good way.
The pump shoots out dish soap very far and makes a mess on the counter. Even when I hold the sponge or brush right by the pump, the dish soap still went all over the place.
The pockets for brush and sponge did not work well either. Even the taller back pocket was way too short to hold a normal size dish brush.
I ended up throwing the item in the trash.
