"This is a reference book that can be read cover to cover, and as such, is a rarity. Its style is flowing, easily accessible, and entertaining. Without any doubt this is a pioneering work that researchers will find indispensable." - Andrew Farkas, author of Enrico Caruso: My Father and My Family (with Enrico Caruso, Jr.); "I consider this book as filling a very badly needed gap in our knowledge of history and music, not only in Montevideo, but in all of South America." - Tom Kaufman, author of Annals of Italian Opera
