From the Back Cover
"The whole point in having opera mainly in a foreign language is that the plot can be totally ignored. While trying to work out what was happening you could miss some very pleasant music, so it is best not to bother."
Bluffer's Guides is a series of snappy little books containing facts, jargon, and all you need to know for instant expertise.
About the Author
Peter Gammond's first introduction to opera came when he bought a small 7" disc with a red label in Woolworth's in 1930. It was entitled 'Ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong' from an operetta called Les Cloches de Corneville. He never really managed to overcome its effects and has continued to have bad taste.
At school he appeared in opera in almost minuscularly minor roles; at university he wrote an operetta Love and Learning produced with a scintillating cast of later cabinet ministers, which was turned down by several leading London impresarios on the entirely justifiable grounds that it was no good. From that point his operatic career has proceeded in leaps and even more leaps, most of them in the wrong direction.
Author of several well-illustrated books on opera which sell because of the pictures, and a number of serious works on music, both classical and popular some 40 books in all he is still slightly taken aback, when being introduced, by the instant enquiry 'Not the Gammond who wrote the Bluffer's Guide to Music?' He will never admit that he is.
