Was hoping for something a bit more extensive, good introduction however.

Love looks lovely from the stage, doesn’t it?

I believe Le Nozze di Figaro is one of the most renowned operas in history - Mozart’s greatest masterpiece, for many. Including myself.

The comedy, the take down of aristocratic power through trickery, and the representation of humanity are wrapped in a profound, moving score.

Tis true, only love could bring a happy ending to such a day of madness...

I read this books as part of the University of King's College (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) Foundation Year Program (FYP) and absolutely loved it
