This book is concerned with the emergence and pursuit of a defined national consciousnesses as shown in the choice of "national" subjects and settings in operas by Australian composers from the birth of the nation at Federation (1901) until the Bicentenary of European settlement in 1988 - a second "watershed" date in its development. There is presently no book that covers the overall development of Australian-composed opera during this period. Michael Halliwell's book, National Identity in Contemporary Australian Opera: Myths Reconsidered, treats the operatic scene only after the Bicentenary. The targeted readership is wide – from academic and pedagogical (undergraduate, postgraduate and research) to the "informed" general reader. Special interest groups may include opera companies, with the hope that it may encourage the performance of many neglected operas, as well as the revival of the more notable ones treated in the book.

David Symons is presently an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia Conservatorium of Music. His research interests are twentieth-century European art music, his PhD thesis being on tonal organisation in the symphonies of the Austrian/British composer Egon Wellesz, leading to a monograph on the works of this composer published in Germany in 1997. Since the 1990s, his research has concentrated upon Australian art music since Federation. This has borne fruit in a number of publications including monographs on the music of the Australian composers Margaret Sutherland and John Antill and a study of Australia's "Jindyworobak" composers (those influenced by Australia's Indigenous culture), together with numerous book chapters, journal articles and encyclopedia entries covering various aspects of Australia's art music since colonial times.
