| Summary | "Confessions of an Opera Singer" by Kathleen Howard is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Howard's journey from her early life in America to her aspirations and challenges in pursuing an operatic career in Europe. The narrative focuses on her experiences in New York, Paris, and Germany, as she navigates the complexities of becoming a professional singer against the backdrop of personal struggles and societal expectations. The opening of the memoir introduces Howard as a young woman engaged to be married, but with a powerful voice that drives her passion for a singing career. As she reflects on her upbringing steeped in music, she reveals her inner conflict between societal norms and her artistic ambitions. Faced with the expectation of marriage and a conventional life, she decides to pursue her dreams of vocal training in New York instead of focusing on her trousseau. The stage is set for a journey filled with determination, struggle, and the realities of an aspiring artist as she sets out to fulfill her destiny on the operatic stage.
