"If you're even attempting going to an opera, for pity's sake, read the plot first! This actually makes everything very understandable and interesting."
"Just another book that reviews opera stories. Not too much stands out in this book. This book gets just 3 stars from me, anything less is considered having stolen my time to read it."
