Synopsis
"The Art of Making Opera" is a unique book which gives the reader an in-depth look behind the scenes of one of today's fastest-growing and most popular art forms -- opera. Major international stars such as Placido Domingo, Richard Bonynge, James Morris, Vivica Genaux, Richard Leech, Jerry Hadley and many more singers, conductors, composers, stage hands, designers, and the audience, too, are seen as they have rarely been seen before. The story is told with more than 350 black and white photographs taken during 2 years backstage at San Diego Opera, and text directly from the author's observations during this time frame, the book shows readers a world rarely seen. By focusing in great detail on the complex and exciting backstage activity of one particular opera company, the artistry and hard work of every artist in the operatic world is illuminated.
