Product: An Opera Lover's Cookbook: Menus for Elegant Entertaining
Description: by Francine Segan, Mark Thomas (Photographer)
SYNOPSIS
Great music and great food make an exhilarating duet. Taking her cues from the world’‘s most beloved operas, food diva Francine Segan has composed a cycle of menus that are sure to have your family and friends shouting, "Brava! Bravissima!"
Each chapter of Opera Lover's Cookbook presents a culinary performance-an elegant five-course dinner, a brunch, a dessert party- scored to a particular operatic motif or keyed to the work of a renowned composer. Operas set in Spain-Carmen, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Don Giovanni-are the exotic backdrop for a tapas fiesta. The far-flung locales of Puccini's La Boheme, Madama Butterfly, Tosca, and Turandot inspire an eclectic international buffet. A rustic Italian dinner is orchestrated to the strains of Verdi's Traviata. And Gilbert and Sullivan, of course, provide the overture for an English-style pub supper.
Sumptuously illustrated with photographs of featured dishes and lavish productions mounted by New York's Metropolitan Opera Company, Opera Lover’‘s Cookbook also dispenses advice on home entertaining and on setting the scene with stunning table decor. Its more than 125 recipes include appetizers and hors d'oeuvres; soup, salad, fish, and pasta courses; main dishes; sweets; and thematic aperitif, cocktail, and after-dinner drinks.

Product: Dummies Series -Opera For Dummies
Description: by David Pogue, Scott Speck, Scott Speck
SYNOPSIS
Opera is weird. Everybody wears makeup and sings all the time. Even when they’re singing your language, which is rare, you still can’t understand the words. Women play men, men play women, and 45-year-olds play teenagers. All the main characters seem to get killed off. And when somebody dies, he takes ten minutes to sing about it. Yet, for all its weirdness, an operatic experience is an experience in breathtaking beauty. When you hear a soprano float a soft high C, or a tenor singing a love song, or a full-throated chorus in the climax of a scene’s dramatic finale, you can’t help getting goosebumps.
Want to experience all that beauty for yourself, but don’t know where to begin? Opera For Dummies is an excellent place to start. Written by an acclaimed conductor and a musical director, this friendly guide tells you what you need to know to:
- Understand opera from the Baroque and Roman periods through today
- Interpret characters, orchestra, chorus, and other players
- Understand what’s happening, both on stage and off
- Choose the best seats
- Identify famous operas
- Build a great collection of opera recordings
- Locate opera sites and chat groups online
Whether you’re interested in attending a live opera, want to build a collection of recordings, or just want to be able to talk about opera intelligently, Opera For Dummies is for you.
On the bonus CD you’ll find:
- More than 60 minutes of music compiled especially for the book
- A multimedia piece for PC or MAC

Product: Eyewitness Companions -Opera
Description: The Opera volume in Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness Companions series has the same attractive layout and high production values as the other volumes in the series. The book was written by Alan Riding (formerly the European Arts Correspondent of The New York Times) and Leslie Dunton-Downer (author and librettist). Its intention is to provide an attractive and informative introduction to opera for those new to it, but also to act as a reference work by promising the stories for some one hundred and sixty operas.
The book begins with a series of introductory chapters. The ones entitled 'Introducing Opera' and 'What is Opera?' seem to be aimed mainly at the newcomer. But 'Librettos and Librettists', 'Staging Opera', 'Opera Houses and Festivals' and 'Idols of Opera' provide historical summaries which most people will find useful. It helps that these are copiously illustrated with pictures, both modern and historical.
Following these, the operas themselves are grouped into usefully colour-coded chapters. 'From Monteverdi to Mozart', 'Italian Opera', 'Germanic Opera', 'French Opera', 'Russian Opera', 'Czech Opera', and 'Modern Opera'.
Each chapter starts with an historical overview then each composer is dealt with in turn, with a biography, time-line of major works, then the operas themselves. Each opera has one or two pages devoted to it. Dates of composition, duration, first performance dates and location, librettist, principal roles are given along with a paragraph about the opera and plot summary, annotated with symbols indicating significant arias and ensembles.

Product: Kids Book-Opera Cat
Description: By Tess Weaver; Illustrated by
Andrea Wesson
Preschool-Grade 2
Madame SoSo is an opera star who practices every afternoon with the maestro. What the two don't realize is that behind the curtain, Madame's cat is singing along sotto voce. Alma, with her unruly whiskers, frizzed at the tips as if she had stood too close to a flame, loves opera and knows the words to all the songs. When the star develops laryngitis, her caroling cat comes to the rescue. In order to perform without the audience knowing a feline is "Figaroing," the cat hides in Madame SoSo’‘s spire of curls. After Alma saves the day, she attends every opera, on the off chance that her talents will again be required. The softly rendered watercolors, some with a decidedly skewed perspective, admirably tell the tale. Madame's love of flowers is reflected in the patterns of her rug, wallpaper, and clothing, and the illustration of Alma, singing her little heart out with her front paws clenched, is delightful. Children will be charmed to see a cat earn her 15 minutes of fame, even if it's done under wraps.

Product: Kids Book-The Dog Who Sang at the Opera
Description: By Jim West and Marshall Izen; Illustrated by Erika Oller
A glamorous dog performing an aria at New York’‘s famed Metropolitan Opera House seems a fanciful premise for a children’‘s story—except, it really did happen. In September 1997, soprano Renée Fleming was, much to her dismay, accompanied by the howling of a Russian wolfhound while attempting to sing a demanding section of the opera Manon. The dog was removed, but not before delighting audiences and attracting the attention of media nationwide. Years later, two men who worked as opera puppeteers that night turned the incident into this sweet and funny book, told from the perspective of the elegant wolfhound, Miss Pasha. Erika Oller’‘s colorful illustrations highlight the humor in the situation, and the inclusion of both New York Times coverage of the opera and Renée Fleming’‘s reaction to her impromptu duet complement.
