Summary
"Little Belle Silverman from Brooklyn as a child performer in the tradition of Shirley Temple appearing with Uncle Sol and Major Bowes only to emerge as a star of the world's leading opera houses. Following her triumphant opening night in Julius Caesar at the New York City Opera she catapulted to fame at La Scala, Vienna, Covent Garden, The Metropolitan Opera and beyond. That legendary journey is traced through interview and talk-show appearances and historic performances of excerpts from her signature roles."--Container.
