In a career spanning more than 60 years, Franco Zeffirelli established himself as the world’s most gifted, original, and flamboyant director of opera, theatre, and film. Here is the definitive book on the life and work of this great master of spectacle. Produced in full cooperation with Zeffirelli and his family, it explores every aspect of his astonishing achievement in the performing arts.

Even more suggestive are Zeffirelli’s costume sketches, set designs, and technical drawings, which reveal the artist’s mind through the artist’s hand. Both a monument to an artistic genius and a magnificent piece of bookmaking, Franco Zeffirelli: Complete Works is a must-have book for anyone who has beem moved by the works of the master.
Praise for Franco Zeffirelli: Complete Works:
"Only a gorgeous, massive ten-pound book well over a foot long would do for the Italian master of gargantuan opera productions."
-The Los Angeles Times
