Anna Susanna: A Biography Of Mozart's First Susanna
There is far more to Anna Storace's story than the creation of the finest soubrette role in all comic opera-that of Susanna in The Marriage Of Figaro.Anna Storace was the most celebrated buffa soprano of her age and this thoroughly researched and highly readable book tells the complete and fascinating story of her life. It documents her early exposure as a child prodigy in London to the bitter break-up of her liason with with the tenor John Braham which was said to have accelerated her death. The story weaves its way through mid-1780's Vienna with Mozart on the periphery rather than the centre, and paints a vivid picture of the life of professional singer during some of the richest years of musical history.
