I am one of those whose lives have been changed. I was surprised by the story in this book about the Vienna premiere of “Elisabeth.” I had no idea it was criticized so harshly! Levi’s decision to follow his own path overlaps with Sisi’s desire to live her own life. This book gives you a glimpse into the secrets of musical magic. –Yoshio Inoue (Musical Actor)
