“Delightful and anti-reverential”—Sunday Times (London) With an encyclopedic knowledge of opera and a delightful dash of irreverence, Sir Denis Forman throws open the world of opera—its structure, composers, conductors, and artists—in this hugely informative guide. A Night at the Opera dissects the eighty-three most popular operas recorded on compact disc, from Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur to Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. For each opera, Sir Denis details the plot and cast of characters, awarding stars to parts that are “worth looking out for,” “really good,” or, occasionally, “stunning.” He goes on to tell the history of each opera and its early reception. Finally, each work is graded from alpha to gamma (although the Ring cycle gets an “X”), and Sir Denis has no qualms about voicing his opinion: the first act of Fidelio is “a bit of a mess,” while the last scene of Don Giovanni “towers above the comic finales of Figaro and Così and whether or not [it] is Mozart's greatest opera, it is certainly his most powerful finale.” The guide also presents brief biographies of the great composers, conductors, and singers. A glossary of musical terms is included, as well as Operatica, or the essential elements of opera, from the proper place and style of the audience's applause (and boos) to the use of subtitles. A Night at the Opera is for connoisseurs and neophytes alike. It will entertain and inform, delight and (perhaps) infuriate, providing a subject for lively debate and ready reference for years to come.

NIGHT AT THE OPERA - Book 1 (1908)When Grace Barton, an American heiress, stumbles across a wounded man at the opera in London, she shares a kiss with the injured stranger that changes her life. More determined than ever to marry for love instead of a title-and find the man she kissed-she's certain the stranger can't be the insufferable Avery Winfield who constantly badgers her with his ill opinions of high-society life and her efforts to hold to her faith amidst London's ballrooms. Avery Winfield is stunned when he learns Grace is the woman he shared the extraordinary kiss with when she found him wounded in the opera box. While most of London society believes him to be a suitable match for their daughters, he is actually working for the Secret Service Bureau as a secret agent, fettering out German spies from among the ton. But his most important mission might just be convincing the one woman strong enough to change his mind about marriage and God that he isn't the blackguard she believes-he's the stranger who won her heart that night at the opera.
