His aim is to present the great and most popular works of opera in a humorous ...By Chad HelmsSir Denis Formans overview of the masterpieces of world opera is a lively and witty book. His aim is to present the great and most popular works of opera in a humorous and entertaining way and I believe he succeeds brilliantly in this effort. He gives a brief synopsis of each opera. followed by what- in his opinion- are the most significant and important arias in each act of the opera. finishing with his personal opinion and a rating of the importance of each opera. While some may object that his style is overly irreverent and heavy-laden with British slang that may be difficult for some non-Brits to comprehend. all in all I think this is a wonderful introduction to opera for the novice from an expert in the field who knows his stuff.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting bookBy SLB303I appreciate that Forman is trying to make the works accessible to beginners. but when he refers to Ed or Lucy instead of Edguardo or Luciano. Im having a hard time connecting it back to the CD or program credits Im referring to.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A "Must" Book for Anyone Who Wants to Learn More About OperaBy chowdaAt my retirement at the end of 2012. I polled a few of my colleagues to find if any in my Retired Mens Association of about 200 men. would like to learn more about grand opera. We limited the group to the first dozen men. to accommodate the DVD viewing rooms in the homes of our host members. So far weve viewed with great pleasure Donizettis "LElisir dAmore". Bizets "Carmen". Mozarts "The Magic Flute". Verdis "Rigoletto". Puccinis "La Boheme". and Verdis "Il Travatore". Next month it will be Puccinis "Turandot".. The volunteer host of the month gets to select he opera from a list of operas Ive e-mailed that are at our local library. All have English subtitles. so are easily understood. Your book has enabled me in advance to publish a synopsis of each upcoming opera. plus some important facts about its composition. its premiere performance and the audiences reception of it. We e-mail this to each member in advance of the showing. and they bring them with them to enhance our viewings.
