"The book contrasts opera-going in different countries and over time, from the 1960s to the present day. It covers not only such main themes as music, singers, productions, opera houses and their audiences; it also deals with peripheral matters including the obtaining of tickets, operatic excursions, and “calamities” which may occur. It is anecdotal and personal, discursive, and amusing, but also informative."
