About this book
The foreword says the writer has attempted to give the true story of the preparation for an operatic career, and its fruition. The foreword says that in Metz, the town where the writer was first engaged, the German officer class was as vital a part of the Opera house life as the singers themselves. The writer recounts winning a $1000 position almost at once, over the heads of many older and more experienced competitors, on the merits of voice alone.
The writer calls the quartet choir of America an invaluable institution for the musical sons and daughters of the country. The writer says that the colleagues of a first engagement are stamped upon memory, representing so much that was new: a new nationality, a new profession, and in many cases a new social class.
