Pratchett in his prime. The setting and the satire is opera. Lots of musings about walking in line, believing stereotypes (both about others and about yourself), discovering yourself and breaking out. (and about the founding of musicals although this might technically be a spoiler)

Починалася історія доволі повільно, але Пратчетт пише занадто смішно, щоб відмовляти собі в задоволенні потягнутися разом з історією. А решта — класична книжка Пратчетта з трохи хаотичним фіналом, який дуже намагається вирватися у бік візуального мистецтва.
