Inhaltsangabe

Opera's drama and passion is nothing compared to the off-stage romances, politics, and eccentricities which conspired to create the 27 "golden age" works which Brener's careful and thorough scholarship contextualizes and enlivens. The reader finds out that Carmen was inspired by Celeste Venard, a Parisian prostitute, writer, and altogether fascinating woman. In 1839 Wagner fled Latvia, and the ship's crew's shouts against the Norwegian cliffs appear later in the The Flying Dutchman . In much the same way that the movie Amadeus made Mozart sexy for a new generation, this study rehumanizes opera. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
