[Catisha Scavairello]

Amazing pictures! This would be an excellent resource to hold onto

[Damai]

This was my introduction to the world opera. I found it quite clear not having a background in subject, although it may be more opaque to those who are not as familiar with music or theatre.

Surprisingly very readable and enjoyable. Concise, helpful, and enjoyable

[Elizabeth Quinn]

I read this as research for my novel, My Phantom: The Memoir of Christine Daaé. A useful guide to the history of the art form.
