From Simon & Schuster, Demented is Ethan Mordden's fascinating exploration into the mysterious world of the opera diva.
Illuminating the paradox of the opera diva--the training and practicality of her professional life edged by the epic love and death of fiery opera stories--this objective study looks at opera's great women singers.
This is an original book written in an interesting way. Why is it the the people who most love sopranos are male? Recommended for opera lovers only. It's a book not just about people but also opera in general.
