A real life family aria that takes us through the world of opera--all its high notes, tragedies and artistry intact. When young Louis Quilico meets upcoming concert pianist Lina Pizzolongo, a personal and musical collaboration begins that sees Louis become one of the most accomplished baritones in the world. Their son, Gino, follows in his father's footsteps to emerge as a globetrotting opera singer. Theirs is a story of love, fame, estrangement, breakdown, and finally triumph. Connie Guzzo-McParland writes her own aria with this reallife family dynasty that takes us through the world of opera--all its high notes, tragedies and artistry intact. "Open the curtain to a vivid retelling of the almost mythical yet very real story of the Quilicos. Guzzo-McParland finds the balance between runaway fame, love, personal identity, and family obligation in this outstanding read."--Susan Doherty, A Secret Music "Gino is a great talent, a great voice, a real personality, and a beauitful actor.

He has everything, and audiences are wild about him."--Luciano Pavarotti "I was fortunate enough in my musical endeavours to work with the Quilicos, both father and son, and I can only underline that I had the greatest pleasure to make music with these great artists."--Zubin Mehta Biography. Music.
