The author has placed them under a spotlight, as he examines all the greatest names of the lyric theater in this century. The book discusses the career, the vocal characteristics, and repertoire of each singer (chosen according to his type of vocality - tenor lirico, lirico spinto, drammatico, etc.) and includes surprising anecdotes and points of special interest in the life of the artist. The photographs show the most varied and significant aspects of these singers: from the physical beauty of Ricciarelli, Kabaivanska, and Corelli - to the magnetism of Callas, Shaliapin and Gencer; from the warm openness of Gigli or Pavarotti - to the elegance of Sobinov and Kraus. And they often reveal the full dramatic involvement of the interpreter, caught by the lens at a moment of intense emotion during a performance: intimate glimpses of Gobbi, Christoff, Taddei, and Horne and many more." "The book is also enriched by a valuable "Singing Lesson," faithfully transcribed, from a Master Class held by the great tenor, Alfredo Kraus, in Rome in 1990." "A historical introduction, chronological table and a glossary contribute to this detailed and complete presentation of the shining firmament of "Opera Stars.""--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Singers. 650 0 $a Singing $x History. 650 0 $a Opera. 650 7 $a Opera. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01046145 650 7 $a Singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119301 650 7 $a Singing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119311 650 07 $a Bildnis. $2 swd 650 07 $a OpernsaÌnger. $2 swd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Stinchelli, Enrico. $t Stars of the opera. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20200421011454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=949807BC839511EAAF1A611397128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
