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.
