I'm really glad I did--it's well-written I bought this after seeing and hearing her performance in "Voigt Lessons" at the 92Y in Manhattan. She is absolutely electric on stage---her singing made me tingle.I'm not a huge opera buff, but my sweetie is, and the show ignited an interest in her story, so I bought the book.

It is not really going to enlighten you on the workings of the opera world but it is interesting, and a little sad, to read how a singer that I have loved for many years has had such a sad personal experience. It ends with hope. Mz Voigt has been an amazing singer. I hope she finds / maintains the joy in life that her singing has given to her public. Their are so few biographies about opera singers.

All the usual trite descriptions of good writing here apply: couldn't put it down, page-turner, etc. Go on this journey wit
