In der Oper mit Donna Leon

Rate this book
Warum Donna Leon die Kunst der Oper liebt und Opernhäuser eine magische Anziehungskraft auf sie ausüben, das verrät sie in diesem Buch. »Die Kunst ist ein Wegelagerer, der uns unerwartet überfallen kann. Sie kann sich in einem Gedicht verbergen oder in den Strichen einer Zeichnung oder im Schwung des ›R‹ in einer illuminierten Handschrift. Für einige von uns zeigt sie sich in jenen himmlischen Momenten, wenn die Stimme, allein die Stimme, sich in jene unerreichten Höhen schwingt, wo die Freiheit wohnt.« Limitierte Auflage, nur im Buchhandel erhältlich, so lange Vorrat reicht.
