Book Review
Review:
Aida is a very famous opera. It has a story that is so
complicated it is hard to follow. When I first saw it on stage I thought it was a glorious
production with unbelievable costumes and sets and exotic scenery but I had a difficult
time keeping up with the plot. Leontyne Price who is a famous and also very beautiful
African-American opera singer, loves to perform the lead role in this opera. She wrote
this story about the opera in a way that is very easy to understand. When I read the story
on my show, my guests were two students who were members of a choir and who had sung in a
small group of soloists. They really enjoyed the story because it was written by a woman
who had actually performed in the opera. The pictures in this book are exotic and
colorful. I hope you find them as beautiful as I did.
