- Summary:
- English actress Sarah Siddons (1755-1831) was an international celebrity widely acclaimed for her performances of tragic heroines.We know what Siddons looked like--an endless number of artists asked her to sit for portraits and sculptures--but what of her famous voice? In lively and engaging prose, Judith Pascoe journeys to discover how the celebrated romantic actor's voice sounded and to understand its power to move audiences to a state of emotional collapse.
