Step back into the golden age of opera with this beautifully produced 1939 edition of The Victrola Book of the Opera. Created by the Victor Talking Machine Company—the powerhouse behind early recorded music—this book brings the world’s greatest operas to life through accessible summaries, historical notes, and dozens of vintage photographs.

Inside, you’ll find captivating stage stills, portraits of legendary performers, and gorgeous plates of the great opera houses of Europe and America, including La Scala, San Carlo, and the Metropolitan Opera House. The charm is in both the storytelling and the visuals: this is part guidebook, part time capsule, and part love letter to opera’s most dramatic moments.

The red and gold gilt cloth cover makes this book a showpiece, whether you’re a music lover, a theater enthusiast, or a collector of vintage arts and culture. It’s the kind of book that feels like it came straight from an old-world library—because it did.

A wonderful gift, a beautiful display item, and an endlessly browsable slice of musical history.
