In an unparalleled career spanning more than sixty years, Franco
Zeffirelli has carved his name in history as one of the world’s most
gifted, original and flamboyant directors. He has directed legends of
the stage and screen, from the greatest opera singers of the 20th
century (Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti) to theatre’s
finest actors (Judi Dench, John Gielgud, Maggie Smith) and Hollywood’s
stars (Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton). This is the definitive book
on the life and work of this great master of spectacle. The photographs
trace the arc of Zeffirelli’s career in abundant detail, from his
earliest productions to his most recent output; the shots of classic
stage productions are particularly revealing and are a lasting
testament to Zeffirelli’s visual expertise. Each genre also features an
introductory text by a key collaborator or commentator, offering an
insight into Zeffirelli’s private and personal experiences and
influences.
