Title: The story behind the opera
Review: For young lovers of music (I mean adolescents) this is a book that tells how Aida and Radames came to the point where their love took precedence over how a slave and general should be. I always thought the opera lacked a back story, but Leontyne Price (a great Aida) provides one for us. Something that she needed as an actress as well as a singer to create her character in this piece by Verdi. We are lucky to have her insight into this opera so we can appreciate not just the music but the deep conflicting emotions behind the music.
