"The Mentor: Makers of Modern Opera, Vol. 1, Num. 47, Serial No. 47" by H. E. Krehbiel is a historical account of influential figures in the development of modern opera, written in the early 20th century. The book explores the contributions of various composers, notably Giuseppe Verdi, Richard Wagner, Giacomo Puccini, and Charles Gounod, detailing their artistic evolution and the impact of their works on the operatic landscape. This engaging overview highlights the transition from traditional operatic forms to more innovative and expressive styles that characterized the modern opera movement. In the text, Krehbiel delves into the lives and careers of these distinguished composers, providing a window into their creative processes and the musical contexts in which they worked. Verdi is portrayed as the master of Italian opera whose melodic genius transformed the genre, while Wagner is recognized for his revolutionary ideas that reshaped the operatic narrative. Puccini follows as a torchbearer of Italian songwriting with his stirring and emotionally charged operas like "La Bohème" and "Madame Butterfly." Gounod’s works are celebrated for their lyrical charm, particularly "Faust." The book captures the essence of how these artists forged new paths in opera, each contributing distinct styles and techniques that resonate in contemporary music, leaving an indelible mark on the art form.
