(Amadeus). In this volume, Father M. Owen Lee writes for the
21st-century operagoer, briskly and stylishly telling the stories
of 100 of the world's greatest music dramas from Aida to Die
Zauberflote . The stories told in music by Mozart, Wagner, Verdi,
Puccini and Strauss are brought to life here with wit, insight and
boundless enthusiasm. When compiling and composing this
pocket-sized handbook, Fr. Lee considered the unique needs of the
modern operagoer. Contemporary text-translating services have made
pure synopses somewhat redundant. Fr. Lee, therefore, has focused
his commentaries less on the comings and goings of plot than on
subtext, motivation and background information. He also suggests
his single favorite recording for each of the 100 operas discussed.
In all, he has written a guide that will prove invaluable to the
opera novice and useful even for the aficionado.
