Mr. Osborne's books are indispensable for opera lovers as well as opera professionals. They are full of pertinent academic information presented in a format and with a style that makes them really pleasant reading. I use them in my vocal coaching studio as well as for preparing talks about operas. I have never not enjoyed reading or re-reading a word he writes. he gives you a little about what was happening in the composer's life when he was writing the opera. You get a sense of the context from which the pieces were created. I would love to met this man. His passion for the art-form, and his commitment to sharing it with everyone regardless of their prior familiarity are extraordinary.
