"Engaging . . . delightful . . . A classic American success story." --The New York Times"This engaging volume will delight readers for whom opera is not only an art but also an endless fount of good gossip. . . . A rarity-one of those much-ballyhooed 'insider books' that actually delivers the goods." --The Washington Post Book World"Fascinating. . . . [Volpe's story] has the golden glow of the American dream." --The New York Sun"A gripping journey of personal and professional discovery." --Opera News
