Reviews
'[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 Gooding, Opera Canada, '[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.', '[Lee describes the music so vividly that you want to rush right over and hear it ...

Synopsis
Father Owen Lee is internationally known for his intermission commentaries featured during the Saturday afternoon broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. A Season of Opera: From Orpheus to Ariadne gathers together for the first time Father Lee's best broadcast and cassette commentaries, public lectures, and articles on twenty-three works for the musical stage. The essays range from the pioneering Orpheus of Monteverdi to the forward-looking Ariadne of Richard Strauss. Included are Father Lee's famous discussions of Mozart's Magic Flute and Beethoven's Fidelio , Verdi's La Traviata and Falstaff , Wagner's Tristan und Isolde , and Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites . The concluding chapter, originally published as the lead article in The Opera Quarterly 's special issue on the end of the twentieth century, is a thought-provoking forecast of opera's future. Recommendations for further reading, CD recordings, and videos are also included. Opera Canada has applauded Father Lee's 'extraordinary ability to engage, challenge, and enlighten a vast and diverse audience' and called his learning-worn-lightly commentaries 'a unique mix of spiritual empathy, classical scholarship, and psychological insight.' Opera lovers, or anyone interested in psychology and mythology, humanities and comparative literature, or the art of the essay will welcome this book., Father Lee is internationally known for his commentaries on opera. This book gathers his best commentaries and articles on 23 works for the musical stage, from the pioneering Orpheus of Monteverdi to the forward-looking Ariadne of Richard Strauss.
