In Grand Style: The Glory of the Metropolitan Opera

In Grand Style: The Glory of the Metropolitan Opera by Ellison, Nancy. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780847827992.

In this oversized volume, Nancy Ellison captures stunning opera performances by such legends as Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and Renée Fleming onstage. Beginning with Pavarottis emotional farewell performance in Tosca, In Grand Style is filled with profound images from the Mets greatest operas, including Julie Taymors new Die Zauberflöte and Franco Zeffirellis Carmen and Turandot. For more than 120 years, The Met has awed fans with its grandeur. Now, with general manager Joseph Volpes tenure coming to an end, Pavarottis retirement, and Domingos distinguished career nearing its culmination, this magnificent book is a timely tribute. Ellisons photographs exemplify why The Met is considered the Mecca for not just opera singers but fans as well.
