Review

""Opera" is a beautiful guide for opera enthusiasts as well as the
perfect welcome for converts to this ancient rite. It offers today's and
tomorrow's audiences a delightful "navigation system" along an avenue that
leads from Monteverdi to Bob Wilson." -- Stephane Lissner, Director of the Teatro alla Scala Stephane Lissner, Director of the Teatro alla Scala

"I am delighted to recommend this book to anyone who is, or thinks
they may be, interested in opera. It is wonderfully illustrated and
contains just the right amount of information on each composer and an
insight into their operas. It's the kind of book to place on your coffee
table to enjoy when you have a quiet moment. My guess is that your coffee
consumption will increase!"
-- Bryn Terfel

"Packed into every page of this book is the excitement of
discovery, knowledge, taste and visual beauty. It all gives the reader the
illusion of being at an actual performance." -- Placido Domingo
