Book Review: Lawrence Tibbett biography
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding look at the life of the opera super star Lawrence Tibbett. I could not put it down. Weinstadt & Wechsler do wonderful justice to this singer and complicated man who had a rags to riches to disgrace life. At the same time time paint a colorful picture of the world he grew up in; a father killed by outlaws in the old west, raised by his mother, tumultuous marriages and love affairs with movie stars all at the height of one of the heaviest of performing schedules. His fame could be compared to Caruso's and one that no baritone has reached since. This lifestyle, fame and alcoholism destroyed him and his popularity to the point where he was virtually forgotten. Great read for opera fans, music fans and movie buffs.
