Reseña del editor:

Opera treated in an irreverent tenor. Grabbing Operas by Their Tales flippantly retells the plots of fifteen of the best known and well-loved operas.

The fifteen operas are: Carmen by Bizet Faust by Gounod Romeo and Juliet by Gounod Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck Don Giovanni by Mozart Tales of Hoffmann by Offenbach Tosca by Puccini Turandot by Puccini Cinderella by Rossini Samson and Delilah by Saint-Saens Il Trovatore by Verdi Aida by Verdi Otello by Verdi Lohengrin by Wagner Die Walkure by Wagner. Grabbing Operas by Their Tales is great reading for music lovers.
