Operaland

This delightful novel recounts the hilarious adventures (and misadventures) of Richie Verdun, a middle-aged car salesman who, much to everyone’s surprise, becomes a successful opera singer. Strasfogel, well known for his collaborations with important composers like Bruno Maderna, Luciano Berio, Gyoergi Ligeti and Hans Werner Henze, has plumbed the depths of his personal experience to portray the dazzle and drama of a life on stage.

What a pleasure to follow Richie through Operaland! I am sure people in and out of the operatic world will find his story laugh-out-loud funny.” Paul Plishka, Leading Bass — Metropolitan Opera
