    Although this isn't 100% opera it is a good biography of the greatest 20th century opera composer, no sorry the greatest 20th century composer, IMHO. Its not overly long but is a good insight.

    Have just come across mention of this, it's aimed at singers so not sure how interesting it would be for a fan.

    Hehe, I got this one too, and Natalie will remember why... It was before your time at TC, Schigolch; we got a crazy Italian voice professor who recommended this book, but then proceeded to utter a string of colorful words at anybody who would disagree with anything said by the author... We got to learn a list of insults in Italian, and he got himself banned, LOL. It was Gaston's first day as moderator...

    Oh yes, the book is really good, I enjoyed it. It's just because it made me remember the whole episode, which was actually kind of funny. The guy was really crazy...
