Opis

"Do you reflect on the many incidents that happen in life, as I do. . .some tragedies, others strange, and a few quite funny?" asks John Grande in this highly readable, lighthearted, and often irreverent memoir of nearly four decades as Chief Librarian of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, one of the great world opera venues, after a career as a professional clarinetist. He reconsiders a life both in and out of his work with maestros from Leonard Bernstein to James Levine, and with hundreds of singers and musicians across the entire opera world.
