Reviews for Music in the Theater
"Petrobelli was putting Verdi and other early nineteenth-century Italian opera composers to analytical scrutiny at a time when few thought the venture worthwhile. It is good to have his essays (among them two new ones, on La forza del destino and Macbeth), some of which have reposed as far afield as a Slovene journal."
