{"product_id":"great-comedy-overtures-1","title":"Great Comedy Overtures","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe flourishing genre of the comic opera had its roots in eighteenth-century Italian opera buffa, whose irrepressible brio was soon taken up outside the country’s borders. In France it produced opéra comique and operetta, and in German-speaking countries Spieloper and Viennese operetta. Some of the world’s most popular comic opera overtures, filled with gorgeous tunes, brilliant orchestration and race-to-the-finish endings, are presented here. They include staples of the concert repertoire such as Hérold’s dramatic Zampa, the textual delicacy of Wolf-Ferrari’s Il segreto di Susanna and the vivid colour of Lortzing’s Zar und Zimmermann.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49644160647448,"sku":"747313341870","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2862138.jpg?v=1777771472","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/great-comedy-overtures-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
