Book 3 of 9: Music History as it Ought to be Taught
Synopsis
When the Fat Lady Sings: Opera History as it Ought to be Taught is a delightful exploration of opera’s fascinating world. Written by David W. Barber, this book offers informal yet informative insights into the exotically irrational entertainment that is opera. From love and lust to jealousy, intrigue, murder, and tragic deaths—both on and off the stage—Barber weaves together stories that will enlighten and entertain you. In fact, it has sold over 60,000 copies worldwide, and to celebrate its success, a special revised and expanded edition was prepared for opera fans and foes alike. If you’re curious about the dramatic lives of composers and the captivating plots behind the scenes, this book is a must-read!
