Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Opera Guyed' is a brilliant collection of humorous verse that skewers the grandiose plots and dramatic excesses of the world's most famous operas. Written by Newman Levy, this classic of American satire provides witty, rhyming summaries of beloved works, including 'Tristan and Isolde,' 'Carmen,' 'Aida,' and 'The Barber of Seville.' Levy's sharp wordplay and rhythmic dexterity transform complex librettos into accessible, laugh-out-loud poems that appeal to both seasoned opera aficionados and those who find the genre bewildering.By stripping away the artifice of high culture, the work reveals the inherent absurdity in operatic storylines-from tragic love triangles to convoluted revenge plots. Each poem serves as a delightful 'guide' (or 'guying') of the source material, capturing the essence of the musical masterpieces while injecting a healthy dose of irreverence. 'Opera Guyed' remains a testament to the enduring power of parody and a celebrated example of early 20th-century light verse, making it an essential addition for fans of musical history, satire, and classic humor.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Therefore, you may see the original copyright references, library stamps (as most of these works have been housed in our most important libraries around the world), and other notations in the work.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
