Read on to discover the music that has most influenced the life and career of author Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket…<\/strong><\/p> Daniel Handler is an American author, musician, screen and TV writer, and producer. He\u2019s known by millions as Lemony Snicket, tormented narrator of the children\u2019s novels A Series of Unfortunate Events<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. His new memoir And then? And then? What else?<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>is published by Oneworld.<\/p> My parents were big opera<\/a><\/strong> fans; they actually met in a box seat at the San Francisco Opera when they were both with other dates. They really wanted to expose my sister and me to opera and San Francisco had a free series of opera in the park. The first one they took us to was Bizet<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Carmen<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, and I have a very distinct memory of my mother taking some Fisher Price toy figures and using them to act out the plot for us before we went. Her version of the final aria was \u2018You said you\u2019d be my girlfriend\u2019 and then she\u2019d act out the stabbing of one toy figure by another. I liked the kind of breakneck pace and the large storytelling which the music ushers along, and opera has worked its way into a couple of my novels.\u00a0<\/p>Who is Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket?<\/h2>
