Synopsis
A richly entertaining look at the sublimities and follies of the opera, both onstage and off. Gathering material from an impressively broad range of sources, the author provides the reader with sections on operatic history, practice, and issues, as well as regaling opera fans with amusing accounts of backstage antics. Anyone who has ever enjoyed an opera will relish these eyewitness recollections of opera's great singers, composers, conductors, and directors through three centures.
