Book Synopsis The Arts of the Prima Donna in the Long Nineteenth Century by : Rachel Cowgill
Book excerpt: Female characters assumed increasing prominence in the narrative of 19th and early 20th century opera. This book shines a light on the singers who created and inhabited these roles, the flesh-and-blood women who embodied these fabled doomed women onstage before an audience.
