Opera for Everybody by Susie Gilbert
Susie Gilbert traces the development of ENO from its earliest origins in the darkest Victorian slums of the Cut, where it was conceived as a vehicle of social reform, through two world wars, and via Sadler's Wells to its great glory days at the Coliseum and beyond.
Susie Gilbert has worked for many years as an archival researcher and editor on numerous books of twentieth century history, including the official biography of Winston Churchill. Her previous book, A Tale of Four Houses, published in 2003, traced the history of Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera since 1945.
