Description
Dame Nellie Melba was Australia’s first international superstar, a uniquely gifted soprano who emerged from obscurity to star on the leading stages of Europe and America. Powerful, brilliant, ruthless and eccentric, a tumultuous private life underpinned her extraordinary public success. This captivating drama contrasts Melba’s professional success with her private turmoil as her consuming passion for song is matched by a failed life as a wife, mistress and mother. Surviving the scandal of a long and intimate love affair with one of the great princes of Europe, Melba nonetheless ruled the Opera stage for forty years.
