A Season of Opera: From Orpheus to Ariadne
'[Lee's passion for opera and his sensitivity to what the works say about the human spirit make his essays a great pleasure to read.'(Publishers Weekly)'[Lee describes the music so vividly that you want to rush right over and hear it ... The best thing about this book is that it does what all good books about music should do - send the reader back to the music with fresh ears and an open mind.'(The Globe and Mail)'The breadth and depth of [Lee's scholarship preclude [the chapters' being an easy or quick read. They are, however, uniformly entertaining and deeply rewarding.'(Wayne GoodingOpera Canada)
