What is it like backstage in an opera house? Is it a madhouse of temperment and emotion, and if so, how do shows ever reach the stage.Backstage At The Opera takes the reader on a journey through the making of one of the English National Opera's most popular and enduring operas, Xerxes.Sarah Lenton, Lecturer and tour guide for the Royal Opera House and the London Coliseum, has recorded every step in the show's development, from the casting and initial set designs, to the making of costumes and props, thru to the dress rehearsals and up to the big opening night. She talks to everyone involved with the show, on stage and off, and as she does so, reveals not noly a great deal about Xerxes as an opera but remarkable insight into the whole process of staging such a spectacular show.

This confusion aside, I quite enjoyed plummeting into the depths of wigs, props, textual queries, and front-of-house mayhem. Readers searching for scandal will not find it here, and those who want a look at a more confronting production where core disagreements abound would be better off looking at 1984's "The Ring: Anatomy of an Opera" or perhaps 1973's "The Carmen Chronicle". But for those of us who don't mind plodding along with all the minutiae of an ordinary but extraordinary experience, and who wish to explore the hundreds of minds and bodies it takes to entertain people for a few hours in an opera house, this is worthwhile.
