A wonderful account of the life of Frances Alda written in her own words. Frances Alda was the number one soprano in the world of opera during the first three decades of the 20th century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
