This book helps sharpen the focus of music historians, spectators-consumers of music, and the multiple actors involved in the business of opera. By taking us behind the scenes, it reminds us that opera certainly lives on the talent of its creators and performers, but survives, also, on money from those who finance it. It is one of the merits of the book to provide concrete and emblematic evidence. Mélanie Traversier, Transposition: Musique et Sciences Sociales
