Nellie Melba - Book - by Robert Wainwright
(2022)
Nellie
Melba is remembered as a squarish, late middle-aged woman dressed in
furs and large hats, an imperious Dame whose voice ruled the world for
three decades and inspired a peach and raspberry dessert. But to
succeed, she had to battle social expectations and misogyny that would
have preferred she stay a housewife in outback Queensland rather than
parade herself on stage. She endured the violence of a bad marriage, was
denied by scandal a true love with the would-be King of France, and
suffered for more than a decade the loss of her only son - stolen by his
angry, vengeful father.
Despite
these obstacles, she built and maintained a career as an opera singer
and businesswoman on three continents which made her one of the first
international superstars. Award-winning biographer Robert Wainwright
presents a very different portrait of this great diva, one that
celebrates both her musical contributions and her rich and colourful
personal life.
