Men, Women and Tenors

A wonderful account of the life of Frances Alda written in her own words. Frances Alda was the number one soprano in the world of opera during the first three decades of the 20th century. Hers was, for the most part, an extraordinarily easy road to fame, or else she has soft-pedalled the thorny paths. But she hasn't hesitated to paint herself as she is, with her temper, her fire, her passions.
