Plácido Domingo, Helena Matheopoulos
Little, Brown and Company

A first-hand account by one of the great artists of operatic history of his view of every one of the 120 roles in his vast and varied repertoire. Placido Domingo analyzes each part both vocally and dramatically, tracing his journey from the first time he tackled it to the present, describing his emotions while performing it and explaining how he conquers or circumvents any vocal pitfalls. He also reveas one of the secrets of longevity which enables him, at the age of 59, not only to undertake mammoth new roles, but to often sound younger and fresher than many of his more youthful colleagues in the same performance.

The past eight years have seen the renaissance of the Diva, with the rise to prominence of a number of female singers who are capable of drawing mass audiences as well as delivering performances to rival those of the stars of the past. The divas analyze their roles, both vocally and dramatically, discuss choices in repertoire and reflect on their lives and careers. Matheopoulos interweaves her narrative with insightful and critical commentary, and peppers her profiles with remarks from conductors, directors, voice teachers, coaches and, on occasion, famous colleagues from the past. She also highlights changes in the opera scene, including the appearance in recent years of many talented Russian singers and the prominence of American-born divas during the last decade.

Interviews include 14 sopranos, including Barbara Bonney, Renee Fleming, Angela Gheorghiu, Galina Gorchakova, Catherine Malfitano and Carol Vaness, and seven mezzos, including Cecilia Bartoli, Olga Borodina and Jennifer Larmore.
