Description

ANGEL OF SONGBeautiful and delicate, songbird Bella De La Rosa's lilting soprano is music from heaven --- but fear has kept her confined to the chorus. And now she is onstage at New Orlean's St. Charles Opera House in rehearsal for Kaleidoscope --- a re-creation of the infamous production during which the brilliant tenor and notorious rogue Jacques LeFevre was murdered a century ago. PHANTOM IN TIMESurely she has gone mad --- for Bella can feel Jacques's presence and hear his voice. And suddenly she is with him --- magically carried back in time to be passionately awakened in heart, body and soul by the dashing, misunderstood scoundrel. For some mysterious power has decreed that Bella must save the enigmatic, irresistible "phantom" --- and that she, in turn, must be saved by Jacques's glorious love.
