This book is a collection of articles and presentations by William Berger, author, lecturer, and radio commentator for the Metropolitan Opera. The individual articles were written for a wide variety of major institutions, opera companies, and universities over the last 12 years. Each chapter looks at the importance of the works under consideration and questions why they hold a place in the public discourse: "What's the thing about each of these?" The goal is to place opera itself squarely within the actual world, including interpersonal and global politics. The book is aimed equally at the opera-insider and the opera-outsider, with engaging ideas for both. There is additional new commentary that could not have been written in the original publications. The result is a compendium of new thoughts and insights about very old stories, uncompromising and sometimes provocative in addressing today's volatile world of ideas in conflict. 
All books will be signed. If you want a special inscription, order your book and then write us at WilliamBergerPresents@gmail.com!

"Whip smart. Told with remarkable clarity and wit."

--Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times Bestselling Author, Film Director / Producer 

"Neophytes and connoisseurs alike will be swept up in his comprehensive, exuberant vision."

--Alex Ross, Author and Music Critic, The New Yorker
