Just released: "Mozart's Da Ponte Operas: The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte." A 348-page, hardcover edition.

The partnerhsip of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte, composer and librettist respectively for The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte, was one of the most extraordinary collaborations in the history of opera: da Ponte's shrewdly contrived librettos possess graceful, witty and songlike poetry, as well as depict real and complex humanity; the inspiration for some of Mozart's most extraordinary and insightful musical portrayals that are enormously faithful to character and situation. The Mozart/da Ponte operas are glorious operatic treasures, masterpieces of the lyric theater that represent a tribute to the art form as well as the genius of composer and librettist.

"Mozart's Da Ponte Operas" is available at amazon.com, and at the Opera Journeys web site.
