Written on Skin - Opera's New Masterpiece - If opera is a dead art form, somebody forgot to tell George Benjamin. Mike Silverman, AP

Magic and irresistible... the best opera written over the last twenty years. Le Monde

Feels like the work of a genius unleashed. Alex Ross, The New Yorker

What can an opera do for us today? Very simple I think: move you... enchant... stir you... thrill you... just like four hundred years ago except we have to find new ways of doing it. George Benjamin, composer of Written on Skin

Opera Lively Press is proud to present the first guidebook to the best 21st-century opera to date. If you thought you didn't like contemporary opera, you are about to change your mind.

The guide includes the full text, synopsis, musical commentary with examples from the score, discography reviews, performance history, staging reviews, exclusive unusually deep interviews with the composer George Benjamin, the author of the text Martin Crimp, the stage director Katie Mitchell, and singers Barbara Hannigan, Christopher Purves, Tim Mead, and Tammy Coil.
