Set against the backdrop of the world's most prestigious music capitals, the narrative captures the immense discipline, passion, and personal sacrifice required to achieve the status of a prima donna. From the rigors of training to the electric atmosphere of a debut performance, the story immerses readers in the technical and emotional nuances of the vocal arts.
Written by Pitts Sanborn, a distinguished music critic of his era, the novel stands out for its meticulous attention to operatic detail and its authentic portrayal of the musical landscape of the early 20th century.

Readers will find a rich tapestry of intrigue, rivalry, and triumph, making Prima Donna: A Novel of the Opera an essential read for lovers of classic fiction and the performing arts.
