This fabulous book tells the story of how Margaret Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale , was adapted for, and became an Opera. Paul Bentley, who also wrote the opera's Libretto, has written a wonderful, absorbing and insightful book. From the first phone call to the premiere party, and all the creative processes in between, Bentley explores the procedures and methods of setting a novel to Operatic music, as well as anecdotal references and examples. It is not limited merely to Opera buffs, but is delightfully witty and easy-going so suitable for any theatre or music lover.
