Carlo Felice Cillario was one of the leading Italian opera conductors of the second half of the twentieth century. He gave performances in the major opera houses of the world with stellar casts that included Maria Callas, Tito Gobbi, Montserrat Caballe, and Luciano Pavarotti. Cillario was also the founding Music Director of the Australian Opera, leading over one thousand performances with the company over a period of thirty years. His readings of Puccini and Verdi were celebrated, but no less so was his engagement with Wagner and Mozart. Retiring in 2003, at the age of 88, he left an extraordinary legacy to the arts in Australia. This book chronicles Cillario's Australian career, in the context of his extraordinary life and career in Europe and the Americas.
