Book excerpt: The Toughest Show on Earth is the ultimate behind-the-scenes chronicle of the divas and the dramas of New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, by the remarkable man who rose from apprentice carpenter to general manager. Joseph Volpe gives us an anecdote-filled tour of more than four decades at the Met, an institution full of vast egos and complicated politics. With stunning candor, he writes about the general managers he worked under, his embattled rise to the top, the maneuverings of the blue-chip board, and his masterful approach to making a family of such artist-stars as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Teresa Stratas, and Renee Fleming, and such visionary directors as Franco Zeffirelli, Robert Wilson, and Julie Taymor. Intimate and frank, The Toughest Show on Earth is not only essential for music lovers, but for anyone who wants to understand the inner workings of the culture business.

Book excerpt: From the author of Masterpiece comes the story of a thrilling quest for riches as glamourous New Yorkers Olivia and Andrew Foster return on a mission to uncover the treasures of a lost Roman Empire city. When the globe-trotting curators of the Metropolitan Museum of Art are on sabbatical in the golden hills of Naples, Olivia and Andrew Foster make the archaeological discovery of a lifetime. Tipped off by an eccentric art collector and connoisseur and aided by an arsenal of high-tech archaeological tools, the Fosters unearth one of the most intriguing discoveries yet to be found. Just as they thought they’d seen it all, Olivia and Andrew uncover the lost city of Herculaneum and all of the ghosts and jewels that were buried with it. But as they come upon the discovery that will change their lives forever, the Fosters are faced with a challenge that makes them realize why all other efforts to uncover the legendary treasures have led to disappointment—or death.
