| Abstract | What's it like to grow up on a small farm in Illinois only to find yourself, some twenty years later, performing on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera? And then to travel the world, singing in historic theaters from La Scala in Milan to Vienna, Paris, London, and beyond? what does it take to be hailed as one of the great operatic baritones of all time? Former Metropolitan Opera star Sherrill Milnes tells all, revealing his artistic and personal life with great candor and considerable heart, in this completely updated, first-time-in-paperback edition of his very successful biography. |
