Take a tour of the world's most beautiful opera venues, from exquisite gems of early theatre design to modern masterpieces including the iconic Sydney Opera House. Each opera house profile provides an engaging guided tour of the building's architectural features and interior design. It goes behind the scenes to reveal colourful stories of the patrons, impresarios and stars whose larger-than-life personalities, tempestuous relationships and outrageous behaviour at times surpassed the melodrama on stage. Chapter introductions trace the broad history of opera and fascinating feature spreads turn the spotlight on key figures and aspects of production ranging from singers, composers and conductors to stage machinery and costume design. Sumptuous, entertaining and inspiring, it will delight not only opera lovers and connoisseurs of architecture, but all those intrigued by the history of music, art and culture.

Opera houses--temples to the art of Mozart, Verdi, Tchaikovsky, and more--have been created by some of the most talented architects and designers of their generations, inspiring centuries of veneration from audiences, filled with royalty and commoners alike. In this sumptuous book, photographer Guillaume de Laubier and journalist Antoine Pecqueur explore more than 25 of the world's most beautiful opera houses, from Tokyo to Covent Garden, from Oslo to Chicago, from Milan to New York. The buildings are described in their historical contexts, while stunning photography reveals the theaters' most captivating spaces. In addition to offering sweeping views of ornate auditoriums and facades, the book opens doors normally closed to the public, entering the artists' dressing rooms, rehearsal halls, scenery workshops, and more, presenting a wide-ranging and compelling look into a spectacular world. Praise for The Most Beautiful Opera Houses in the World: "Performance spaces take the spotlight in The Most Beautiful Opera Houses in the World and you don't need to be a music buff to appreciate their range. The photographs by Guillaume de Laubier capture 32 theaters across the globe in rich detail . . . Who knew empty stages made for such good theater?" --Wall Street Journal "With the growing popularity of massive arenas, it is often difficult to think back to a time when going out for a night of music was synonymous with elegance. But a new book has rediscovered the high art of these exquisite theater spaces. The Most Beautiful Opera Houses in the World contains hundreds of photographs showing the exteriors and auditoriums of these cultural treasures--and is a reminder why these architectural wonders are worth a visit." --FOXNews.com

"Anthony Gishford has collaborated with five other distinguished writers on opera, Harold Rosenthal, Tony Mayer, Horst Koegler, Patrick Carnegy and Richard Comyns Carr, to record the many widespread artistic achievements which this extravagant medium has inspired over the centuries. The text is written with a dry humor which, while not hesitating to poke fun at the pomopous targets of the opera world, never forgets that this is an art form which inspires passionate devotion as well as uncomprehending dismay. The book is divided into twelve national sections and within each of these the individual opera houses are separately treated. There has never, until now, been a book which attempted to explore this subject with such wide scope. Illustrations of the architecture, of historic performances, of programs, prints and all the lore of the operatic stage make the book a vivid contribution to this branch of theater history." --

“The Amato Opera Company has delighted music lovers throughout the years, establishing an extraordinary artistic tradition in New York City.” -- Bill Clinton “The Amato Opera theatre is a truly extraordinary New York cultural institution and it is a priceless addition to our great City’s music industry.” -- Rudolph W. Giuliani Author Anthony (Tony) Amato produced full-staged grand opera in New York City for 61 years. Now Tony tells his story—from his earliest childhood in Minori, Italy; immigration to the U.S.; his early career in restaurant kitchens and as a butcher; and the courtship of his beloved wife Sally when they were both young, working singers. The book goes on to describe how Tony and Sally created The Smallest Grand Opera in the World, gaining international critical acclaim in the process. The Smallest Grand Opera in the World is a story of the extraordinary will and effort of two people in an uncommon marriage and partnership. It is a joyous story in which Tony willingly shares the secrets of why The Amato Opera was a success. It is a how-to book for the aspiring theatre professional as well as an inspiration for all who have ever dreamed of being a part of the miraculous world of opera.
