Frances most renowned classical singer shares reminiscences about her personal life and illustrious career in this charming memoir. With candor, affection, and humor, Regine Crespin reflects on her family, friends, and colleagues, her love affairs, and, most of all, the opera.She recalls her beloved Italian grandmother, the pain of growing up with an alcoholic mother, and her adoring but troubled relationship with her father. Crespin describes her rise from a teenager with a pretty little voice to dramatic soprano, and provides delightful anecdotes about her performances at Bayreuth, the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, and other major opera houses and concert halls throughout the world. She openly discusses an abortion, her battles with breast cancer, intimate details of her love life, and contemplates the art of singing as well as the burdens of stardom. Crespins exasperation with the lack of recognition from her own country is also revealed.Populated with such figures as Herbert von Karajan, Lotte Lehmann, Jon Vickers, Leontyne Price, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Maria Callas, this engaging autobiography offers a vivid and fascinating glimpse into the world of opera. It is also the inviting story of a remarkable woman who was a diva on the stage but never a prima donna in real life.

Not What I Expected
Honestly, I was disappointed with this memoir. It started off strong, but then it got bogged down in details that felt irrelevant. I wanted more depth on certain topics, but it just didn’t deliver. Wouldn't recommend it to friends. Sorry!

Interesting but a Bit Disorganized
I enjoyed parts of the memoir from On Stage Off Stage, but some sections felt a bit jumbled. The themes were great, but the flow could've been smoother. Still, there were some really poignant moments that made it a worthwhile read for fans of the genre!
