“Dobrissimo! Opera from the kitchen” is long conversations held on a warm summer evening over a glass of good wine.
It’s a friendship that is born imperceptibly while eating strawberry cake.
It’s spending time together listening to music, having passionate conversations about it, cooking and eating together.
“Dobrissimo! Opera from the kitchen” is the essence of this unique book.
Aleksandra Kurzak, Poland’s most famous opera singer, and Marzena Rogalska, a journalist beloved by Polish women, were brought together by their love of opera. Thrilling stories of emotions and passions inspired them to talk about what’s in their souls.
Because opera is really about life. It is the joy of being together, which Alexandra and Marzena want to share with each of us. Recalling operatic flavors and enjoying the tastes of their favorite dishes still steaming, at a beautifully set table they talk about family, friendship, passion and music, which can be a light in the most difficult moments of life.
The book “Dobrissemo! Opera from the kitchen” invites you on a journey through places, events, operas and dishes; a journey that should appeal to all your senses. Sight and hearing – it’s all about great opera stories and Ola’s great career on the world’s finest opera stages. Smell and taste – that’s all she knows how to conjure up at the kitchen table. Touch – is your hands impatiently turning the pages of this book in search of more stories and more flavors. And the sixth sense – which I steadfastly believe in – makes me think that the joy and warmth with which Ola weaves her stories will also become yours.
