Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. New York, NY, Crown, 2005. First edition. 8vo. Red quarter cloth over black boards with gilt lettering embossed on spine, 263 pp. The last book written by longtime New Yorker staff writer William Murray (also the author of Janet, My Mother, and Me), this is his tribute to opera and also to his own road not taken. Weaving recollections of his abandoned opera training in New York, Rome, and Milan in the 1950s with the personal and artistic struggles of young opera singers today, Murray follows 12 young singers in the Lyric Opera of Chicago's prestigious training program, the Opera Center for American Artists, through the 2003-2004 season. He affectionately lays bare the staggering ambition and relentless will required to achieve a career in the arts. New in a new dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover.
