The American Opera Singer by Peter G. Davis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Music critic Peter G. Davis gets behind the scenes of the American operatic stage to regale readers with the stories of prima-donna antics and hilarious backstage tales. Davis follows the growth of this European art form from its fledgling roots in the 19th century, when American singers crashed the European stage, to the contemporary stars who now lead the field. The American Opera Singer is a delightful history of a melodramatic art form with personalities as grandiose as opera itself. | The American Opera Singer by Peter G. Davis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
