More people
in the U.S. buy tickets to opera performances than to major league
football games. Speaking of opera, classical musical critic Michael
Walsh is sure that even the most devoted opera enthusiast will
not be able to answer all his tricky questions about composers
and conductors, plots and prima donnas, heroes and heroines,
tenors and triumphs, castrati and catastrophes. Who knows which
opening night was interrupted by an earthquake? Name the opera
in which Richard Nixon figures prominently. Did Mozart have sex
on the brain? The Opera Quiz Book addresses these fans
with understanding - its facts and quiz format will offer them
hours of pleasure while learning about their favorite topic.
A fun book for veteran opera buffs as well as uninitiated observers.
Michael
Walsh is the classical music critic for Time magazine.
The author of Who's Afraid of Opera? and the best-selling As
Time Goes By (Warner Books: 1998) he resides in Lakeville,
CT.
