About
Star of Broadway, opera and concert, Alice Nielsen was a magnetic stage presence, a sincere, smart actress. Her shows were Standing Room Only. Her mom was an Irish musician, her dad a Danish troubadour. Born in Nashville, raised in KC, she starred in San Francisco's "Satanella," became a national star in Victor Herbert's "Serenade." Nielsen jumped to grand opera at Covent, singing Mozart and Puccini with Caruso, joint concerts with Duse. Boston Opera was built for her. Nielsen sang at The Met, Chicago, Montreal and Berlin. Famed as America's greatest lyric soprano, this is her first biography. Discover why Nielsen was a great artist, a great American. "On Tuesday night she sang Lucia, on Wednesday evening she sang Marguerite, on Thursday evening she was Mimi, giving a portrait in harmony that will endure as long as the memories of those who heard and saw her." Otheman Stevens, Los Angeles.
