From Hoelterhoff, whose candid and astute opera reviews for "The Wall Street Journal" won her a Pulitzer Prize for cultural criticism, comes this wickedly funny account of two years on the international opera circuit with one of opera's brightest superstars, Cecilia Bartoli. of photos.
Review:
"Hoelterhoff shows nothing but genuine love for opera as an art form, as well as a deep respect and affection for the people who, sometimes seemingly against all odds, keep it alive. But her passion can't be tamed: 'Cinderella & Company' is as wily and artful as that wickedly upturned swoop of eyeliner Maria Callas was famous for."
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon, 09/28/1998
Review:"Manuela Hoelterhoff's backstage look at the Cecilia Bartoli phenomenon and the opera world in general is the most perceptive and hilariously honest book on the making and marketing of opera to come along in some time."
Anthony Tommasini, New York Times, 02/03/1999

Cinderella and Company: Backstage at the Opera with Cecilia Bartoli (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780375707124) Hoelterhoff, Manuela Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Vintage Books USA, United States, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 231 x 157 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. A wickedly funny look at opera today--the feuds and deals, maestros and managers, divine voices and outsized egos--and a portrait of the opera world's newest superstar at a formative point in her life and career. In Cinderella Company, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Manuela Hoelterhoff takes us on a two-year trip on the circuit with Cecilia Bartoli, the young mezzo-soprano who has captured an adoring public around the world. Rossini's Cenerentola is Bartoli's signature role, and Cinderella Company tells the fairy-tale story of her life, which started on a modest street in Rome where the Fiat was the coach of choice. The lucky break, the meteoric rise, the starlit nights and nail-chewing days are all part of a narrative that shows Bartoli rehearsing, playing, traveling, eating, and charming us with her vivacity and dazzling virtuosity. Along the way, Hoelterhoff gives us an unusually vivid, behind-the-scenes look at the opera world. The first stop is Houston, where Bartoli brightens a droopy Cenerentola production; later scenes follow her to Disney World and to the Metropolitan Opera, where a fidgety cast awaits the flight-phobic mezzo's arrival for Mozart's Cosi fan tutte. Traveling to Santa Fe, Paris, Rome, Venice, and London, Hoelterhoff drops in on opening nights and boardroom meetings, talks to managers and agents, describes where the money comes from, and survives one of the longest galas in history. Here too are tantalizing glimpses of divinities large and small: Kathleen Battle's famously chilly limousine ride; Placido Domingo flying through three time zones to step into the boots of an ailing Otello; Luciano Pavarotti aiming for high C in his twilight years. And we meet the present players in Bartoli's world: Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu, a.k.a. the Love Couple; Jane Eaglen, the Wagnerian web potato monitoring her cyberspace fan mail; the appealing soprano Renee Fleming, finally on the brink of stardom. At once informed and accessible, Cinderella Company brings the world of grand opera into sharp focus--right up to the last glimpse of Cecilia Bartoli waving triumphantly from Cinderella's wedding cake.
