Publisher Description
For over two decades Charles Long thrilled opera audiences, performing at some of America's and the world's most famous venues, and singing alongside some of its greatest stars. In his insightful, frank and humorous new memoir, Long recounts many of those experiences. In the process he sheds light into a world many of us respect, admire and love, but which few of us have ever encountered in such intimate detail.
Customer Reviews
Whatta ride!
This massive achievement encompasses stellar writing, a larger-than-life central character, a brilliant reading by the author, himself, and wads of uniquely apt musical excerpts from Iive performances during Long's impressive career. The book shows a masterful artistry with the written word, and illumines the dark, labyrinthian underbelly of a glossy profession. Of the three formats available, I recommend this one - by leagues!
