(filed under: Music / Opera ) * stock image, actual book may vary A Song of Love and Death: The Meaning of Opera Graywolf's updated edition of this classic book on opera includes a new afterword by author Peter Conrad. Arguing that opera's deepest roots lie in our most fundamental human rituals, Peter Conrad shows us the faces of the gods that still hover over the pageant--gods of music, abandon, evil, love. then, with the dizzying skill of a practiced literary and cultural critic, the author takes us on a ride through the repertoire of operas past and present. Finally, he brings us to the climactic moment of the form: the performance. We meet the great personalities--from Puccini to Bernstein to Domingo--in their element, and see anew how their celebrity and their artistry affect us all. $12.50 Cortina, Classici Pagine Scelte 1956 hardcover.

Book #or1057921. ISBN #038548187X / 9780385481878. (filed under: Music / Opera ) * stock image, actual book may vary Behind the gold curtains of the Metropolitan Opera House, amidst the elaborate sets, bejeweled costumes, and labyrinth of administrative offices, the Met has traditionally operated in great secrecy. Until now. Johanna Fiedler, who was the Met s general press representative for fifteen years, draws upon her insider s knowledge and rivetingly reveals for the first time the company s Byzantine inner workings and the personal, social, economic, and artistic struggles that have always characterized the Met. Molto Agitato is a tale with an appropriately operatic cast of characters_haughty blue bloods, ambitious social climbers, determined administrators, stubborn board members, temperamental artists_all maneuvering to use their power and influence to make the Met conform to their own agendas. Fiedler brings to life the early days of the Met, with the imperious Toscanini arriving from Italy and Caruso filling the house; the post-WW II years, when the unions gained strength and plagued the company with strikes; and the ever present passions of tenors and sopranos, clashing offstage as well as on. But most revelatory are Fiedler s portrayals of James Levine and Joseph Volpe and their practically parallel ascendancies_Levine rising from prodigy to artistic director, Volpe advancing from stagehand to general manager_and their once strained relationship that was compounded by Volpe s much publicized firing of the soprano Kathleen Battle. With its swift-flowing narrative, Molto Agitato is a wonderfully entertaining and thoroughly engaging account not only of one of the world s most respected and richest music institutions but also of power, politics, ambition, and egos.   NEXT 25--> 1 2 3
