Bravo! Brava! A Night at the Opera- Behind the Scenes with Composers, Cast, and Crew

By Anne Siberell

This book is by far one of the most fun and factual reads. It is formatted like a chapter book, however the pages are wide and colorful drawing compose the edges of the pages. This book truly covers all aspects of an opera including the timeline of opera from 16^th-20^th century and even the many composers of opera and a map to highlight where each composer is from. Furthermore, this book covers the roles during an opera including the backstage with the lighting directors, upholsters, scenic artists, etc. With the clear layout of the book and well illustrated pictures, readers should be prepared to learn almost all aspects of opera from definitions to composers to roles on stage.
