Prima Donnas and Other Wild Beasts by Alan Wagner offers a witty, insider's tour of the temperaments, rivalries, and theatrical excesses that have long defined the world of opera. Written with warmth and sharp comic timing, the book blends anecdote, history, and cultural commentary, pulling readers behind the velvet curtain to reveal the human drama that unfolds both onstage and off. Wagner draws on figures ranging from Jenny Lind and Nellie Melba to Toscanini and Caruso, presenting opera not as distant high art but as a living, combustible theater of personality. This is the First Collier Books Edition, 1963, the first paperback printing, published by Collier Books (a division of the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company). Originally issued in hardcover earlier in the decade, this edition brought Wagner's popular and accessible opera writing to a wider audience during the golden age of American mass-market paperbacks. The volume includes a contents list, cast of characters, and a concluding index, underscoring its usefulness as both entertainment and reference. Condition: The book is in Good condition. Covers show general age-toning, edge wear, and light creasing, with a small circular discount mark on the front cover. Spine is intact and legible. Interior pages are clean and complete, with mild toning typical of early-1960s paperback paper stock; no loose pages observed. An engaging mid-century opera title, this first Collier paperback printing remains appealing to collectors of music history, opera ephemera, and classic cultural paperbacks. Alan Wagner (1924-2008) was an American opera commentator, broadcaster, and writer best known for making opera accessible to general audiences. A former CBS television executive and the longtime host of the radio program Living Opera, Wagner became a leading mid-20th-century popularizer of operatic history, personalities, and performance practice in the United States.
