The author is a retired academics who has already established a life-long enthusiasm for opera and who may have attended many performances at home and overseas. The book pulls on his numerous and geographically diverse experiences. It contrasts opera-going in various, predominantly European, countries and as time passes, from the 1960s to the present day. It includes not only the obviously main themes - music, singers, productions, opera homes and their people; it also deals with peripheral matters like the obtaining of seat tickets, operatic excursions, and "calamities" which might occur. It is anecdotal and personal, discursive, and amusing, but also interesting. If you want to learn about the world of opera - what runs right and what runs wrong - you'll enjoy this.
