About this title

Synopsis

For listeners to the Saturday afternoon broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera, Boris Goldovsky's cheery "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!" has always heralded a quarter hour of pure enjoyment. Since 1946 Goldovsky has been treating the Met's radio audiences to his scholarly observations and personal reminiscences. Twenty six of his intermission scripts have been included in this book, including Aïda, Carmen, The Magic Flute, and Tosca.
