5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for the serious opera buff
incredible story of a woman who brought Opera to Boston in a big
way. Must read for serious Opera Buffs and admirers of ambitious
women who make great things happen despite daunting obstacles. Want to
shift to third and fourth gears in your Opera knowledge? include this.
WOW!!!! truly truly excellent.

1.0 out of 5 stars A complete waste of time
I thought this was one of the worst books on opera that I have ever read. You learn practically nothing about Sarah Caldwell by reading this book. Nothing of her personal life, her real approach to music. What you get is an author who seems to be in love with his subject. There is no real critical analysis here. The world will have to wait for a real Sarah Caldwell...

1.0 out of 5 stars A complete waste of time, October 9, 2011
I thought this was one of the worst books on opera that I have ever read. You learn practically nothing about Sarah Caldwell by reading this book. Nothing of her personal life, her real approach to music. What you get is an author who seems to be in love with his subject. There is no real critical analysis here. The world will have to wait for a real Sarah Caldwell biography. If I could have rated it ZERO stars I would have. Save your money and buy a recording of hers instead. You'll learn a lot more about her that way.
