Reviews

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

This probably deserves a much better rating but I have little interest in the opera and similar arts. I did not even know who this man was, never heard of him but it was still interesting.

[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fabulous account of some of the most important periods in Dexter's career, and of theater and opera in the 70s and 80s. As a bonus, he calls numerous artistic luminaries the c-word.
