From dust jacket notes: "If it were possible to photograph for posterity an example of a beautiful, thrilling musical note let loose by a world-famous singer, it might well be Birgit Nilsson's high C in her entrance aria as Elektra in Richard Strauss's opera. Or perhaps the spine-tingling one she produces in Puccini's Turandot. Or the veritable garden of high C's she brings into glorious bloom in Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, Gotterdammerung, Die Walkure, Siegfried - the list is long and tantalizing, as is this great dramatic soprano's career on the world's opera stages....My Memoirs in Pictures is filled with anecdotes (and photographs) about her performances in major opera houses (her wig fell off during a scene at Covent Garden) and about her well-known colleagues - Sir Georg Solti, Beverly Sills, Dame Joan Sutherland, Jon Vickers, Placido Domingo, and many others. Mme. Nilsson's debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York brought her to the pinnacle of success, but, she says, it was also a time for reflection. Looking back, she thinks that her feat was not difficult. She often referred to singing as a hobby rather than a job. her real feat, she thinks, was to stay at the top after arriving there. And that required work and more work!...All of that, and more, is in these pages filled with over two hundred photographs in both black-and-white and in color. An index helps to locate information on the fascinating life and career of an extraordinary singer and artist."
