Imagine the forces of power, wealth, sex and influence aimed not at artistic glory but focused like a death ray on a great opera company.
Tony Woodcock's "All the Best Parties" takes us into the scorching drama behind the music, the arias, the fabulous sets, celebrities and social glitter. From a pinnacle of artistic success and financial stability, the company begins to disintegrate. The major social events that surround the company become a poisonous backdrop to the internecine warfare waged by the Opera's Board. But even as the fragile structure begins to topple, the best parties for the social elite continue-- even without the musicians and singers. Nero continues to fiddle as Rome burns, but the Fat Lady has already stopped singing.
