Summary: "Stories from the Operas" by Gladys Davidson is a collection of retellings of various opera librettos presented in a clear and accessible narrative form. Likely written during the early 20th century, the book seeks to make the thrilling tales of operatic drama enjoyable to a broader audience beyond the confines of the stage. Each chapter appears to encapsulate the essence of a different opera, giving readers an overview of the plots and characters involved. The beginning of the book outlines Davidson's intentions and the structure of the collection, emphasizing its appeal to both opera enthusiasts and general readers who enjoy dramatic storytelling. Through her prefatory remarks, Davidson expresses gratitude to various publishers and highlights the previous success of her stories from different operas. The opening portion provides a glimpse into the first story, "Fra Diavolo," which introduces a lively setting on Easter Eve, detailing the impending marriage of a young couple and setting the stage for the clever banditry of the infamous Fra Diavolo amidst romantic entanglements and conflicts.
