Customer Reviews

A must read for all singers!

This is a great book that tells the story of the African - American experience in the world of opera. There is so little on this particular subject as it is and I thought the author did a beautiful job telling the story! As an African - American woman I felt proud to read the about the lives of some really wonderful singers. I hope this prompts more research on this topic!
