      "Fifty-Five Years in Five Acts: My Life in Opera"


        Astrid Varnay
        ...order this book here.
        Varnay's relaxed, conversational memoir covers the American soprano's life from her childhood as the daughter of two opera singers through her own career, which ran from the 1940s to the 1990s and which was closely associated with Wagnerian roles (as well as Beethoven and Strauss). Varnay's unpretentious narrative includes plenty of anecdotes about her colleagues. She vividly conveys what daily life in an opera house is like and offers frank opinions about the practice of contemporary opera production.
