This epic book is an homage in appreciation of countless glorious performances. Her career lasted almost forty years. For some twentyfive years from the late Fifties to the early Eighties she was the dominant force in the dramatic / heroic soprano repertoire and the undisputed Queen of Wagnerians of her generation, one of the all-time Greats in the history of opera. But she was by no means limited to Wagner. Her Isolde and Brünnhilde together with Salome, Elektra, Dyer s Wife and Turandot were often collectively referred to as the Nilsson repertoire .
