About this title

Synopsis

During the Golden Age of Italian opera, Luigi Lablache triumphed as one of the most admired and accomplished international superstars. Born in Naples in 1795, his unprecedented forty-five year singing career dominated the glorious bel canto period when opera flourished as the principal form of entertainment. Now his direct descendant, Clarissa Lablache Cheer, puts forth this remarkable and long overdue biography of Lablache the first ever to be written in English. Page by page, Lablaches extraordinary story unfolds as the author guides the reader through the hectic and glamorous era of Italian opera and European high society.
