Alfie: My Life, My Music, My Story

0/5 ( ratings)

Alfie Boe is the first official bad boy of Opera: a musical superstar celebrated not only in Britain but in the US, Australia, Europe and beyond. This is the story of his life: the ups, the downs, from finding fame to losing his father, and his love-affair with music.
Raised in Lancashire, as the youngest of nine children with a father who played opera at home, Alfie's story is not typical of opera stars. His dreams of singing were only ever going to be dreams until fate intervened in the form of a stranger: he was training as a car mechanic when a customer overheard him and told him about a London audition which Alfie needed to try out for. He got the part and never looked back.
This is the story of how Alfie went from car mechanic to this generation's most popular and well-known opera star. How he became celebrated by Baz Luhrman, Cameron Macintosh and Michael Parkinson as the best tenor we've produced in a generation. This is also the story of snobbery from within the establishment and how Alfie has created serious upset with some of the more traditionally inclined members of the opera scene. It's a story which his legions of fans will love.
