In Venice's famous La Fenice theater, the celebrated German conductor, Wellauer, is found dead in his box during a performance of La Traviata. Commissioner Guido Brunetti is called to investigate the case and discovers that Wellauer was poisoned with cyanide. As Brunetti delves deeper into the investigation, he delves into the dark secrets and rivalries that lie behind the glamorous world of opera, discovering that the respected musician had many enemies. This novel is the first in the series of cases of Commissioner Brunetti, set in the most emblematic places in Venice.
Donna Leon is the American author of a series of crime novels set in Venice, Italy, featuring the fictional hero Commissario Guido Brunetti. The novels are written in English and have been translated into many foreign languages, although – at Leon's request – not into Italian, as she formerly lived there, still visits monthly, and prefers not to have recognition in the country.
