In this book, Steven LaRue examines the influence of the great operatic singers on Handel's creative process. In Handel's day the idea of a singer creating a role was perhaps never more true, and the author demonstrates not only the singer's important role in Handel's opera composition, but also the effect that opera singers had on the creation of opera throughout the eighteenth century.
