About

Despite the popular success of the Metropolitan Opera's "Live in HD" series, opera's grand world of soaring sopranos and breathtaking baritones-of tragic Rigoletto, triumphal Sigmund, and desperate Orfeo, of faithful Figaro, heartbroken Pagliacci, and lusty Don Giovanni-remains wrapped in an aura of impenetrable esotericism.

Piercing this veil of opera's perceived inaccessibility, acclaimed classical music critic Robert Levine extends a witty and insightful invitation to enjoy opera in Weep, Shudder, Die, offering a new generation of aficionados a priceless way to access to music's greatest achievement.
