Book Reviews of La Nilsson: My Life in Opera
Book Review: A witty, warm and very personal biography
Summary: 5 Stars
At last an English translation of this wonderful biography. It is written by Ms. Nilsson herself - no ghost writer here. It is translated from the German edition, not the Swedish one. It also exists a Danish translation. In both the German and English translations some short episodes are deleted. The original Swedish version also exists as a talking book, with Ms. Nilsson herself speaking. The book is filled with lots of interesting details from one of the most spectacular careers ever on the international opera scene. Behind every word you can feel the sympathy and warmth of a really great but also earthbound star with great intelligence and - a great hearth. When famous film director Ingmar Bergman read these memoirs he tells in an interview that he had never laughed so much and so often when reading a memoir before. That says a lot. A must for all opera fans.
