It is well known that without good music, life would be a mistake, how a great philosopher once said. And that good music must be performed by really talented singers. Starting over 400 years ago, opera singers were always admired for their interpretations, which generate deep emptions, because, as Plato said, Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. Great composers, from Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, and Claudio Monteverdi, to Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Giuseppe Verdi, just to name a few, created well-known compositions, and the famous opera singers, from La Florinda and Adamonti, to Adelina Patti, Nellie Melba, Chaliapin and Caruso, and to Amelita Galli-Curci, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Joan Sutherland and Pavarotti, just to name a few, bring to life those magnificent compositions.Using a chronological order, this book has a variety of relevant information not only about them, but also about numerous other personalities and important events. There are also many attractive and historic photographs, which add another visual dimension. The more you read, the more you’ll love it! This book brings a rainbow of artistical information, from many places and personalities, and all this information will certainly enhance everybody’s joie de vivre. These opera singers are part of our culture, and any reader, from everywhere, will definitely find, in this book of general interest, plenty of useful information, which will help them to better understand our history, and prepare them for a better future.
