@hwopera I spent tonight reading Mad Scenes and Exit Arias. Very enjoyable and thought-provoking look at the financial illusions and ego trips that doomed a formerly plucky and vibrant company.

The @nytimes Book Review calls "Mad Scenes and Exit Arias" "an intricate whodunit" https://t.co/8HXRLNCo0F

Taking about it with Naomi Lewin and the @92Y today, Nov 28, at noon!

[Metropolitan Books @MetropolitanBks]

"An intricate whodunit that seeks to find out who murdered the New York City Opera... a sharp portrait of the ever-changing cast of would-be saviors who somehow always failed in their mission." --@nytimes Book Review
