First Intermissions by M. Owen Lee Pdf
Millions of music lovers have heard the moving words of Father Owen Lee during the first intermissions of the Saturday afternoon operas broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera in New York. His illuminating, intensely personal, immediately accessible half hours on the air have brought grateful letters from all parts of the United States, Canada, and Europe, from both first-time listeners and veterans of fifty years of Met broadcast listening. Now, First Intermissions makes available twenty-one of Father Lee's finest radio talks, analyses of some of the best loved operas in the repertoire, including masterworks by Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, and Strauss.
