After a dramatic voice loss during her divorce, musicologist, Karin Wettig, PhD, found her cure by singing. Following her passion for bel canto she trained at night in churches with CDs of Maria Callas, attended masterclasses, and sought vocal coaches. Still unhappy with her results, she dove deeper into the science of bel canto until she discovered her authentic coloratura soprano voice. While she was teaching workshops, her pupils asked for a transcript and her first book for singers, Singing like Callas and Caruso-the German precursor of this comprehensive version-was born. After that her German title - Belcanto in Theorie und Praxis - was published. Then the English version - Singing like Callas and Caruso - followed. Now this new English version and the Italian version are published for the interested singer and vocal coach. The author has various artistic and literaric facets. She lives in Munich. See less
