Nance Grant: A Life of Curtain Calls

Nance Grant's world has been a rich tapestry of musical and operatic performances, in the company of many great singers, producers, musicians and conductors, renowned both in Australia and internationally. Nance Grant: A life of curtain calls breathes life into this world, taking us behind the curtain and onto the stage to share Nance's singing and performing triumphs and to honour the many people who made her performing life such a bounteous one.

Recognised as 'one of the very finest of all Australian singers' (Brian Castles-Onion AM), Nance enjoyed a singing career that spanned from the early 1950s through to her final concert in 1991. She graced the stage as a principal singer for three Royal Command performances and, for a decade in the 1970s, was a principal singer at Opera Australia. When not performing, Nance continued to immerse herself in the world of singing and music, passing on her wealth of experience to the next generation of new and emerging singers. Lavishly illustrated, this beautiful book is a must for any lover of music and opera.
