The Gilded Stage: A Social History of Opera by Daniel Snowman

schopflin's review

4.0

Highly readable and full of entertaining detail. The only weakness in my opinion were the speculative ponderings at the end. Hard to do well and perhaps best omitted. Oh. Also. Big thick books like this when softbound are an utter pain to read - too heavy to take on the bus and hard to wrangle at home.
