One Crazy Day
by Richard Morris, Hatty Morris
One Crazy Day tells the story from Mozart's brilliant opera, The Marriage of Figaro, in witty, illustrated verse form. It is a delightful companion for those already familiar with this comic masterpiece and an ideal introduction for those approaching it for the first time. One Crazy Day recounts every twist and turn of this wonderful story of servants outwitting their master, and captures the glorious spirit of the opera itself. Editorial Reviews "One great, gripping and - amazingly - entirely lucid terza rima romp" Neil MacGregor "Delightful, elegant and useful" Simon Callow
