Reviews
"Weav[es] telling vignettes and interseting interpretations into a rich tapestry that vividly describes what goes on behind the great gold curtain. [Fiedler] deserves an ovation." --The Dallas Morning News "Elegant. . . . It's the opera book that tells you what you really want to know, not by gossiping, but by sensitive discussion of facts long-hidden behing [the Met's] Kremlin-like façade." -The Philadelphia Inquirer "High-toned dish. . . . [The Met is] creepy one minute, transcendentally beautiful the next, but never, ever boring." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Compelling. . . .Lively, in-depth. . . . Fiedler doesn't stint in her tales about those temperamental artists who make the business of running an opera company unlike any other." --The Wall Street Journal "Provides a unique perspective not only on the opera scene, but on the changing landscape of American society since the Met's opening in 1883. . . . It also serves up some pretty spicy dish." -The Boston Globe "The juicy survival saga of a leaky vessel that has managed to stay afloat despite constant threats of disaster and a passenger list out of Ship of Fools." -The New York Observer "Evenhanded. . . . Brings an emotional immediacy to events." --The New York Times "Opera buffs looking for a chatty, informative and basically fair take on the Met will enjoy the book." -The New York Times Book Review "There's plenty of gossip. . . . Digs into power struggles, plus diva dramas, even a murder." --USA Today "A great pleasure to read. Simultaneously thoughtful, well-written and trashy . . . an ideal beach read for opera buffs." -Time Out New York "Fiedler succeeds in exposing all the dirty linen that she used to work so hard to conceal: the affairs, the squables, the nasty memos." --The New Yorker "High-toned dish. . . . [The Met is] creepy one minute, transcendentally beautiful the next, but never, ever boring." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A rare, gossipy, behind-the-scenes look into the life of New York's Metropolitan Opera, where passions are as dramatic offstage as on." --Town and Country "A facsinating survey of the misdeeds going on in the back. . . . A must-read for all operaphiles." --The State (Columbia, SC) "Breezy. . . . Fiedler makes old scandal as intriguing as topical news about its current Artistic Director James Levine and General Manager Joseph Volpe." The Austin Chronicle "A thorough-going, eyeball-rolling institutional history. . . . One couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable guide to the inner wrokings of the Met." --Kirkus Reviews "Fiedler delivers the goods. . . . By the time I finished Molto Agitato, I was ready for more." --John Griffin, San Antonio Express-News From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Behind the gold curtains of the Metropolitan Opera House, amidst the elaborate sets, bejeweled costumes, and labyrinth of administrative offices, the Met has traditionally operated in great secrecy. Until now. Johanna Fiedler, who was the Met's general press representative for fifteen years, draws upon her insider's knowledge and rivetingly reveals for the first time the company's Byzantine inner workings and the personal, social, economic, and artistic struggles that have always characterized the Met. Molto Agitato is a tale with an appropriately operatic cast of characters_haughty blue bloods, ambitious social climbers, determined administrators, stubborn board members, temperamental artists_all maneuvering to use their power and influence to make the Met conform to their own agendas. Fiedler brings to life the early days of the Met, with the imperious Toscanini arriving from Italy and Caruso filling the house; the post-WW II years, when the unions gained strength and plagued the company with strikes; and the ever present passions of tenors and sopranos, clashing offstage as well as on. But most revelatory are Fiedler's portrayals of James Levine and Joseph Volpe and their practically parallel ascendancies_Levine rising from prodigy to artistic director, Volpe advancing from stagehand to general manager_and their once strained relationship that was compounded by Volpe's much publicized firing of the soprano Kathleen Battle. With its swift-flowing narrative, Molto Agitato is a wonderfully entertaining and thoroughly engaging account not only of one of the world's most respected and richest music institutions but also of power, politics, ambition, and egos.
