A realistic and unaffected look at the making of a brilliant singer. (

Globally famous opera star Renee Fleming has been described as the "best soprano in the world" by Andre Previn and "the biggest selling soprano in the world" by the head of Universal Classics. More than an entertaining autobiography about the inner workings of the classical world, her memoir is also is an inspirational look at what it takes to be successful as a singer and as such will be uniquely valuable to the thousands of young people who aspire to these heights.

In a series of personal anecdotes she shares her experiences of working with famous orchestras and temperamental conductors as well as describing her early battles with stage fright.
