About this title

Review:

"Those of You Who Perform--musicians and dancers--will have by now practiced perhaps three thousand hours a year times fifteen years, which equals forty-five thousand hours Which means collectively that you as a group will have practiced eleven million hours. Challenge the idea that the arts are for a select few--teach, make more people love what you love, and help them to understand why you dedicated those eleven million hours in the first place."

A revealing account of how an opera career is launched and sustained... Illuminating. ("The Charlotte Observer")
