Book excerpt: "T'was the book I would had writ, had I known about the Metropolitan Opera" --W. Shakespeare It should have been just another normal night at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. At least, that's what everyone thinks as the cast and crew prepare for the performance of Verdi's Rigoletto, a favorite Italian masterpiece. But normalcy soon vacates the premises as a body appears swinging from the famed Met's chandelier. The crowd panics as the investigation begins. Police swarm the scene and try to figure out how the corpse ended up hanging from the chandelier and who the man might be. Investigators soon come to realize that there is a lot more to this mysterious death than meets the eye. For instance, it appears the murder was staged, the victim hung at this popular location with purpose. A legendary New York police lieutenant investigates in concert with an Italian police commodore. A young woman makes the shocking discovery that she's actually a rich heiress, and even a royal prince makes an appearance. So what is the meaning of the dead man at the Met? It will take some top notch sleuthing to catch this killer among a colorful cast that is nothing if not theatrical.
Book Synopsis The Absolutely Appalling Opera Murders by : William Schoell Enrico Arrivederci
Download or read book The Absolutely Appalling Opera Murders written by William Schoell Enrico Arrivederci and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Tinner, who considers himself the world's greatest tenor (even if no one else does) comes to visit his cousin, Amber, and discovers to his horror that she wants him to throw in his two cents regarding the amateur opera society's production of Mascagni's "L'amico Fritz." Not only does Walter have to argue with the rather strange members of the society -- all of whom have "operatic" names and some of whom impugn his singing ability -- but it's the last straw when one of them turns up murdered. And then another .. and another. Will Walter be able to solve these ghastly killings before somebody else bites the dust -- even Walter himself? With the help of detective Wilma Banky, Tinner gets his man -- or woman! Author Enrico Arrivederci once sang on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House - when he was not supposed to - and was nearly banned for life. Little Enrico was one of the crowd of urchins in Giordano's "Andrea Chenier", and was never supposed to sing, but the cute little fellow decided to join in during the climax anyway. Renata Tebaldi gave him a good spanking, and Mario Del Monaco chased him around backstage hoping to give him a thrashing for ruining that beautiful climactic duet. On the other hand, Placido Domingo once gave Enrico a pat on the head, while Luciano Pavarotti pinched his cheeks - which was strange as this was years later and Enrico was in his forties at the time.
Book Synopsis Opera for Libraries by : Clyde T. McCants
Download or read book Opera for Libraries written by Clyde T. McCants and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003-02-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opera is a unique expression of the human mind and spirit--a play that communicates plot, characterization and story almost entirely through music. Unfortunately, because of restraints of time, location and income, few people have the opportunity to see operas performed on a regular basis. Public libraries are an easily accessible alternative for gaining operatic knowledge and exposure, offering the public a chance to hear, see, and develop an appreciation of opera. This work is a two-part guide for libraries that want to assemble a comprehensive collection of operatic materials. Part I is a list of recommended operas ranging over four hundred years of operatic history and including a variety of different styles and languages. The goal of Part I is to provide recommendations for a comprehensive library collection of video and sound operatic recordings. Part II suggest books, periodicals, and online resources that could be an integral and important part of a library's opera collection. This section also discusses the care and maintenance of sound and video recordings, offers suggestions for locating hard-to-find operatic material, and explores the library's role in sparking patron interest in opera.
