From operas presented in reconfigured army barracks to those mounted on a stage rivaling that of New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, Indiana University Opera Theater has grown into a world-class training ground for opera's next generation. A lavishly illustrated history, Opera for All Seasons captures the excitement, hard work, and talent that distinguish each performance and that have made IU Opera Theater what it is today. More than 300 photos and drawings illustrate six decades of opera production from the inaugural Tales of Hoffman, a legendary Parsifal, and a performance of Martin’s Greek Passion at the Met, to the 2008 La Bohème―the first opera streamed live on the internet from Indiana University to a worldwide audience. Opera lovers will delight in this sumptuous memento of IU Opera Theater’s glorious history.

An analytical book it is not. A critical history it is not. Take it for what it is: a lavish, illustration-rich, coffee table-worthy, and fascinating-to-look-through panorama in print of the Indiana University Opera Theater's first 60 years. July 11, 2010 (The Herald Times)
The Indiana University Opera Theater has struck me as just about the most serious and consistently satisfying of all American opera companies. (Andrew Porter The New Yorker)
A treasure trove of pleasure for opera lovers, Opera for All Seasons also manifests the profundity and charm of this art form for those who may have little experience or knowledge of it. August/September 2010 (Bloom)

It gives a thorough pictorial history of a very impressive and renowned program.13. 3-4 2010 (Music Reference Services Quarterly)
It's the best performance in my life and my most important work. (Ned Rorem, on IU Opera Theater world premiere of Our Town)
