Opera diva Dame Kiri Te Kanawa shares her love of opera in this very personal and candid book. Dame Kiri takes us behind the gold and glitter and draws aside the curtain of the great opera houses of the world.
Turning the spotlight on some of opera's great personalities -- composers, conductors, tenors, and prima donnas -- she discusses controversial performances and tells how the phrasing of a vocal line can make all the difference between a performance that lives and one that is utterly lifeless. | INTRODUCTION Prologue |
