On 632 pages, Ioan Holender, former director of the Vienna State
Opera, recollects all 118 premieres of his term, which lasted from
1991 to 2010, relating his impressions in a very personal and
intimate way. During numerous meetings with editor Lois
Lammerhuber, Ioan Holender described the turbulent and moving,
sometimes dramatic and sometimes joyful, course of these
productions. The stories reflect Ioan Holender's deep passion for
opera and its protagonists. Axel Zeininger's photographs provide a
great variety of insights into 19 years of opera, with the stars of
generations of singers, from Placido Domingo to Anna Netrebko.
Facsimile prints of the original playbills make this book an
extraordinary document. The volume is rounded off with analyses by
arts journalists Gert Korentschnig, Karl-Heinz Roschitz, Heinz
Sichrovsky and Wilhem Sinkovicz. Text in English & German.
