Title: Don't be afraid
Review: I enjoyed Michael Walsh's "Who's afraid of classical music?" and when I discovered that he had written a companion text for opera, I set out to read it. "Who's afraid of opera?" is excellent, as it concentrates on that scarier form of musical drama: opera! Walsh sets out to debunk many of the misunderstandings about opera, and shows how delightful opera can be, as it combines drama and music. He also shows that many of the themes in opera are basically the themes we still see today, in pop culture and so forth (love, really in love, kill for love). All in all, a great book for the beginner hoping to set off on their operatic journey!
