Overview
"In this entertaining anthology, Stephen Brook offers a rounded look at the sublimities and follies of the operatic stage. He gathers splendid accounts of all the great singers, but this book is much more than a collection of amusing anecdotes. In this indispensable anthology are assembled eye-witness recollections by the likes of Byron, Stendhal and Shaw; recipes for the maintenance of the well-trained voice; accounts of the behaviour and misbehaviour of opera audiences; and reports from the battleground between conductors and singers, between directors and composers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
