Blefsikon: Opera

Blefsikon: Opera

Peter Gammond

"Blefsikon: Opera" is a witty and insightful book that provides a satirical view of the world of opera.

As the title suggests, the book is written in the form of a "blufficon" – a mock manual that allows readers to "bluff" their knowledge of opera, pretending to be experts in the field. "Blefsikon: The Opera" serves not as a serious manual of opera, but as a fun guide through the often overly serious world of classical music. Gammond's aim is to demystify opera, highlighting its absurdities and excesses, while at the same time entertaining readers. The book is ideal for opera lovers with a good sense of humor, but also for those who are not familiar with this musical genre and want to learn about opera through a fun approach.
