5.0 out of 5 stars
Bought for my son -- changed my life, July 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Young Person's Guide to the Opera (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my son, because I wanted him to enjoy culture. I have a great education (engineer) but never got into opera. I started reading it to him, then I bought a CD of Turando (because I love Pavarotti). And now my wife and I are hooked. I really appreciate the way the stories are told, and the background - and especially the guide to pronunciation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Knowledgeable and entertaining for young & not-so-young, July 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Young Person's Guide to the Opera (Hardcover)
Not all literature has yielded great operas. Not all great operas are based on great literature. But sometimes the perfect symbiosis was achieved. The young-and not so young- will learn to recognize all this and more, from this knowledgeable and entertaining book, and will be ready for the special thrill when it comes their way.
