Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Opera Guyed' is a brilliant collection of humorous verse that skewers the grandiose plots and dramatic excesses of the world's most famous operas. Written by Newman Levy, this classic of American satire provides witty, rhyming summaries of beloved works, including 'Tristan and Isolde,' 'Carmen,' 'Aida,' and 'The Barber of Seville.' Levy's sharp wordplay and rhythmic dexterity transform complex librettos into accessible, laugh-out-loud poems that appeal to both seasoned opera aficionados and those who find the genre bewildering.By stripping away the artifice of high culture, the work reveals the inherent absurdity in operatic storylines-from tragic love triangles to convoluted revenge plots. Each poem serves as a delightful 'guide' (or 'guying') of the source material, capturing the essence of the musical masterpieces while injecting a healthy dose of irreverence. 'Opera Guyed' remains a testament to the enduring power of parody and a celebrated example of early 20th-century light verse, making it an essential addition for fans of musical history, satire, and classic humor.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Inscribed by the author to the great boxing champion Gene Tunney: "For Gene and Polly Tunney with warmest regards.* Newman Levy. March 7, 1955. *See especially page 13." Page 13 is a retelling of the Samson and Delilah story with Samson portrayed as a pugilist who refuses to fight, except for his country. This had an interesting parallel with Tunney's life. Tunney quit the ring in response to an ultimatum issued by his heiress fiancé, his only belligerent activities thereafter were as an officer in the Navy during WWII.…
