This is a book devoted to photographs of opera singers: not operas, not opera houses, but the stars of opera, the personalities who bring operas to life and to whom audiences and composers owe an everlasting debt of gratitude. In assembling the photos, we tried to find as many examples of great and near-great singers as possible, dating back as early as possible. In general, we did not include singers whose careers began after World War II. - Introduction.

This volume picks up where The Great Opera Stars in Historic Photographs left off. It is a record covering the postwar years to the present. Although most of the great stars of recent years will be found here, limitations of space and availability of photographs were also factors determining inclusion. With a few important exceptions, duplication of singers represented in the earlier volume has been avoided. - Introduction.
