About the Book

A promising singer from early kittenhood, Indy knows his future may be in Grand Opera. All he has to do is get to the Opera house and make his debut! Once he gets there, however, and journeys into the world of La Traviata, he realizes his quest must be more heroic. It is up to him and his mewsical tones to save the leading lady's life! Along with Glissando, the great Russian Blue of the Opera House, and a lively duo of dramatic felines, this feisty Siamese learns about music, drama, theatrical tradition, and performance techniques, and ultimately sorts out the difference between storytelling and real life in his first adventure of The Indy Stories.This charming story engages young readers in the exciting world of the performing arts, while giving them a basic understanding of Opera. The extensive glossary at the back of the book is a wonderful companion to Indy's adventure."Caroline Altman has written a charming children's book about an amusing cat who lives with a soprano, and finds his way to the Opera House in a very engaging way. The best role of my career is that of 'Nana, ' so I am familiar with hundreds of childrens' books that appeal to many ages. I think this is a winner and that there is a door open for many more books describing the adventures of 'Indy.' It is delightful and I am very pleased to endorse Caroline's efforts and congratulate her on this wonderful book!"--Frederica von Stade, Internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano"Indy's adventurous journey is a fantastic read for anyone interested in the inner workings of theatrical life."--Dyan McBride, Education Director, 42nd Street Moon Musical Theatre Company"Indy's innocent anxiety about the trouble in the La Traviata plot, and his subsequent enlightenment about the beauty of tragedy, creates a very moving and (if I may), operatic story." --Kristen Caven, author of The Souls of Her Feet
