Which composer drove his wife mad by wearing underwear that didn't need to be washed? From which opera do the shrill violin sounds of Hitchcock's Psycho come? How did Franco Corelli become the terror of all sopranos? Enjoy these and hundreds of other stories. The vanities, bizarre experiences and foibles of artists from two centuries are shamelessly and lovingly laid bare. A lovingly compiled book of anecdotes and curiosities about roosters, bitches, drunkards, heroes, divas and despots from three hundred years of opera.
