St. Louis Woman Book Reviews
St. Louis Woman by Helen Traubel & Richard G. Hubler Book Summary
This charming autobiography captures the life story of a fascinating woman: a Missouri girl-turned-world-class soprano who remained true to her roots through it all.
Born and reared in St. Louis and proud of her origins, Helen Traubel grew up in a modest German-American family. She spent her teens and twenties singing with church choirs and quartets in the city, studying under first- rate teachers. She did not leave Missouri for New York until she was in her early thirties. Although she replaced the great Kirsten Flagstad at the Metropolitan Opera, she refused to confine herself to singing before elite crowds and prided herself on reaching a larger, more general audience via nightclubs, radio, television, and theater.
St. Louis Woman is filled with candid and amusing stories as full of zest as Traubel herself. One such story details her audition for the Ford Hour, during which she suffered a terrible case of poison ivy, and the booth technicians interrupted her performance with laughter. Furious, she announced she would sing no more and started to leave. Without explanation, the technicians asked her to continue. Traubel later discovered that the higher-ups had called down to the technicians demanding they stop playing the Flagstad record and let that kid sing.
The qualities that made Traubel such a notable individual are captured in this entertaining book. Her strong, independent character shines through. Outspoken and at times brutally honest, Traubel recounts her experiences at the Met, as both a popular performer and a teacher. She tells of exasperating moments when she was coaching famous pupil Margaret Truman. This is not a fact-laden examination of the singer’s Wagnerian repertory or a study of high opera; rather this engaging book introduces the reader to a nationally renowned performer who, despite her unmatched talent, retained her hometown identity and lived her life as a St. Louis woman.
