As an adolescent in Syracuse, New York, Marcia Menter fell in love with the recorded voice of Ann Drummond-Grant, a Scottish contralto who sang with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, the legendary Gilbert and Sullivan troupe. She dreamed of singing with the company, even though it didn't hire Americansand even though, as she soon found out, Ann Drummond-Grant had died years earlier. But her dream persisted, and for the young music lover, Drummie's glorious voice remained a living presencea refuge from the race riots and political upheavals of her school years.
Menter earned a conservatory degree in singing before finally realizing she was not a performer at heart. She spent decades searching for Ann Drummond-Grantvisiting places she lived and interviewing people who knew herand putting together the puzzle of her life. This is the story of a singer and her listenerof two separate lives divided by time and geography but connected in unexpected ways.
