Reviews

The Fenice opera house in Venice, destroyed by fire in January 1996, is commemorated here in a truly spectacular publication. This magnificent volume records in splendid colour photographs every detail of the interior, reproduces original plans and drawings of all the theatres on the site since 1789, and records many of the opera and ballet productions that have been staged here over the last two centuries. Here are the designs for the first productions of many Rossini, Donzetti and Verdi operas, drawings and photographs of great performers from Grisi, Strepponi and Marchesi to Massine, Sutherland and Pavarotti. For lovers of opera and ballet this book is both essential and irresistible. It is a record not only of a great house, but of a whole artistic accomplishment. Wonderful. (Kirkus UK)
