“But I sing, because music colors the soul, opens windows, and changes the air.
Because music keeps alive the memory of the man I wanted to become.
Of the person I fought to be.”
(Symptoms of Happiness)
Symptoms of Happiness is the title of the book written by tenor Marco Voleri, published in 2013 by Sperling & Kupfer.
It’s an autobiographical story in which Marco recounts not only his artistic journey filled with study, performances, auditions, and travel but also the personal challenges he faced when diagnosed with a chronic illness.
From the early days of his opera career to the onset of symptoms that later revealed themselves as Multiple Sclerosis, Marco offers a raw and inspiring account of resilience.
