The Story Behind the Series
Being a passionate opera listener, I was always curious about the exact meaning of what is sung on stage. I began collecting libretti and translations, formatting them side-by-side and printing them for my own use — and that personal project gradually grew into DM’s Opera Series, first published on Amazon in 2024.
