Your wonderful PUCCINI COMPANION was the perfect text for my course. The students, who are equally divided into singers and instrumentalists, all enjoyed and appreciated it.

I recently purchased the ebook version of your guide to Cosi fan tutte for my company, Halifax Summer Opera Workshop, and I found it invaluable. The background information, the analysis and the superb translation made it my constant companion while directing the opera. I will recommend your work to everyone I know! Thank you so much ...
