All the Best Parties

<p>    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. </p><p>    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.</p>
