PREFACE
Owing to the very kind interest and appreciation expressed by readers of my first and second series of " Stories from the Operas," I have been encouraged to prepare a third volume of these dramatic tales, following out the same plan as before. The Stories now selected are taken from Operas which have met with world-wide popularity and success; and, as in the former volumes, my object has been to present all the incidents of each Libretto in the clear readable form of a short story.
I have to express my sincere thanks to the Managers of the Moody-Manners Opera Company, and Covent Garden Opera House, for their kindness and courtesy in giving me information regarding libretti.
