Biographie de l'auteur
Born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1954, Keith Hann grew up in a household devoted to the music of the two Maxes, Jaffa and Bygraves, but luckily introduced himself to opera shortly before leaving school. Over the last 40 years he has watched the curtain rise on more than 1,000 operatic performances, and waited until it fell on 997 of them. In order to fund this addiction, he has been variously employed as an unsuccessful stockbroker and an incompetent but occasionally entertaining public relations consultant. Decades of skilful bluffing brought him to the brinks of retirement without any lasting romantic entanglements, until a momentary lapse of concentration one evening at Covent Garden led to his marriage at the age of 54, and the subsequent arrival of two children. Keith currently devotes most of his time to not writing a novel and staring forlornly at his bank statements. In consequence, he values his now strictly rationed excursions to opera houses more than ever.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of opera, with The Bluffer s Guide to Opera. Never again confuse a castrato with a contralto, a prima donna with sopratitoli, or O Sole Mio with an ice cream advert. Bask in the admiration of your fellow opera lovers as you pronounce confidently on the merits of Donizetti s bel canto over Wagner s leitmotiv, and hold your own against the most sneering of opera buffs. DO SAY Don t you feel that the soprano was a bit insecure above the stave? DON T SAY I think Nessun Dorma means that England have gone out on penalties again. The Bluffer's® Guides: the 5-million-copy bestselling book series. These short, humorous guides contain all the facts you need to become an instant expert.
