Description:“Debussy summed up his admiration for her voice … of a bird 'which sang almost as well as Miss Teyte'.”From humble beginnings as a child in London disturbing her neighbour, Maggie Teyte became an international celebrity of the Edwardian era.Travelling to Paris, Maggie Teyte was taught by Jean de Reszke, Reynaldo Hahn and Claude Debussy.In France her talent flourished, and Teyte forged a successful career in French opera and song.Such was her voice, and her interpretation of works such as Mozart’s, that she not only popularised them but became a pioneer of opera for her era.As if living in a fairy tale, a late career resurgence saw Maggie Teyte accomplish her lifetime goal: returning to America, she finally performed Mélisande in New York.A modern woman with a strong personality, she entranced audiences the world over, with critics remarking that she wasn’t simply playing a character, but that she was the character.Drawing upon family reminisces as much as the records and recollections of former colleagues, The Pursuit of Perfection is an intimate portrait of an operatic great.Garry O’Connor is an English biographer, novelist and playwright and the grandnephew of Maggie Teyte.
