Abstract:
OPERA THOUGHTS is a small collection of personal anecdotes interspersed with bits of socio-philosophical commentary written by a pediatrician passionate about that odd-to-so many art form called opera. As stated in the prologue: ‘Opera influences people in ways they are often aware of. They are a loose and unforeseen compilation that came to life when I began thinking about some of my operatic experiences over the years…’ Arthur Koestler, W.H. Auden, Peter Drucker, and Plato are some of the unexpected voices in these biographical essays and become contributors to what the author sees as a Synopsis of My Synapses.
