I’m proud and fortunate to call
Charles a friend. He’s one of a kind, warm, thoughtful and a loving human that the world would be
less insane if there were more men like him. be

Read
an interview with Charles, and be amazed at his many talents.
Charles Long performed with some of America’s and the world’s most famous opera companies and sang alongside opera’s greatest stars. Now retired, Long recounts many of those experiences in this baldly honest memoir. Sparing no one, especially himself, from his acerbic observations, he sheds light onto a world many of us admire but have only rarely encountered in such intimate detail. In the process he illustrates why the word “opera,” which means “works” in Latin, truly denotes a labor of love for so many who have given their all to the art.
