The truth about Nourrit's final days and what lay behind his suicide,
By
This review is from: The Great Tenor Tragedy: The Last Days of Adolphe Nourrit As Told (Mostly By Himself) (Hardcover)
Nourrit was a fine artist, trained by Garcia, a great singing actor and dramatist, with whom composers consulted, and for whom they composed.
The story is told by Henry Pleasants by culling passages from Nourrit's correspondence. It sheds light on the period, a tempestuous one in the histoy of opera and of singing, involving the most important centers of the opera world, Paris and Italy. I strongly recommend it. It is history that reads like a good story - complex and true. Roberta Prada |
