Written with affection & warmth, this is the story of a remarkable American woman, Louise Homer, who was a leading contralto with the Metropolitan Opera for the first 19 years of this century. It is also the story of her husband, the composer Sidney Homer, who was one of her teachers prior to their marriage in 1895. Anne Homer's biography of her mother paints a fascinating picture of the life of a concert star - auditions, contracts, engagements, roles, repertoire, conductors, & managers - against the whole panorama of grand opera during its golden age. There are black & white photos throughout the book.
