Susanna Goho-Quek has so many tales to tell of her early days growing up in Singapore in a large family of siblings and adopted cousins. Some of the more entertaining concern her mother, a manager of a Chinese opera troupe and her older brother, a star performer. Susanna drew upon her memory, her masses of photographs from those heady days and the costumes that she inherited to produce this colourful tale for the young. She has captured the excitement of the being part of this magical world of costumes and make-up and music! And more importantly she has brought to life a dying art for the children of today to appreciate. Commendations "Fun at the Opera is a beautiful tale about an evening filled with a myriad of colours, swirling gleeful mischief and endless possibilities. It’s a beautiful gift that will be enjoyed by all children, parents and grandparents for years and years to come." - Myra Garces Bascal, Assistant Professor "What a wonderful way to introduce to children the pantomime, the drama, the colour, the spectacle and the delights that is Chinese Opera. With her unique, creative and extremely colourful illustrations Susanna has opened the stage doors of this often intriguing world. The playfulness of the children creating their own opera world behind the scenes is a wonderful expression of all the magic and joy of childhood. I know that Susanna has been passionate for the creation of this project and I am one who is so pleased that she has laboured so long to create this beautiful production – much like Chinese opera itself. Congratulations for a beautiful creation." - Christopher Cheng, award winning children's author, Australia, International Board of Advisors, Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators

There are a lot of books that say how great, wonderful and artistic opera is, but this is a skillfully written and hilarious book about how ridiculous opera is. Essentially the point of the book is that if you can't laugh at opera, you have no sense of humor, and if you can't enjoy opera, you have no sense of wonder. OperAntics gives you plenty of reasons to laugh at opera and prove you have a sense of humor.

"Oh no!" . . . you might say: "Not another book on Opera!" To be sure, there are certainly quite a few (and many quite excellent) books about Opera, which supply staggeringly thorough (and often overwhelming) plot summaries, which hardly anybody can keep straight. But this book is different - a real time-saver! For THIS modest little guide gives you SHORT, easy-to-read summaries of each Opera's plot, complete with the latest learning aid - Plot-O-Grams! So, whether you're en route to a live performance or sitting down at home to enjoy a CD or DVD recording - this guide will quickly get the least important bit (the plot) into your head - and out of the way. Then you can really enjoy the show!

2019 HUGO AWARD FINALIST, BEST NOVEL The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets the joy and glamour of Eurovision in bestselling author Catherynne M. Valente's science fiction spectacle, where sentient races compete for glory in a galactic musical contest…and the stakes are as high as the fate of planet Earth. A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented—something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding. Once every cycle, the great galactic civilizations gather for the Metagalactic Grand Prix—part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past. Species far and wide compete in feats of song, dance and/or whatever facsimile of these can be performed by various creatures who may or may not possess, in the traditional sense, feet, mouths, larynxes, or faces. And if a new species should wish to be counted among the high and the mighty, if a new planet has produced some savage group of animals, machines, or algae that claim to be, against all odds, sentient? Well, then they will have to compete. And if they fail? Sudden extermination for their entire species. This year, though, humankind has discovered the enormous universe. And while they expected to discover a grand drama of diplomacy, gunships, wormholes, and stoic councils of aliens, they have instead found glitter, lipstick, and electric guitars. Mankind will not get to fight for its destiny—they must sing. Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes have been chosen to represent their planet on the greatest stage in the galaxy. And the fate of Earth lies in their ability to rock.

“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.
