There are even behind-the-scenes glimpses of many of today s great opera companies, including the Royal Opera House in London, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the San Diego Opera.Created in association with London s Royal Opera House and the San Diego Opera, this hardcover book-and-CD package is a sumptuous introduction to the world of opera. The accompanying CD captures memorable moments from some of the most famous operas.
