Opera Anecdotes

Review:

Excellent selection of opera anecdotes from Monteverdi to Britten, and from Aida to Zerlina.

I read this a few pages at a time, daily, while taking a shit. I shit a lot, so I like to make use of the time. Now I’m flushed with success.

Most, almost all of these anecdotes never happened, but they are part of opera lore now and are still very entertaining.

Will refer to this little volume over again when I need to remind myself not to be so serious.

This book made me want to: go backstage again
