New Book by Dina Azrikan

Congratulations to Dina Azrikan, Music Public Services Assistant, on the publication of her book, Arnold Azrikan: Romance for a Dramatic Tenor. Co-written by Dina and her brother Dmitry, the book concerns the life of their father, Arnold Azrikan (1906-1976), an opera singer who performed in many celebrated productions in the former Soviet Union. As a loving tribute to their father, the book includes personal reminiscences by Dina, Dmitry, and others of Arnold Azrikan's life on and off stage. The text, in both Russian and English, is supplemented by numerous photographs.

In memory of her father, Dina has given copies of her book to the NU Library and will distribute copies to other libraries around the world.
