The very just portrait of Cecilia Boccaferri, the conscientious but obscure artist in Le Château des Désertes, might seem over-flattered to such as imagine that all opera-singers must be persons of riotous living. The types she prefers to present, if exceptional, are not impossible or non-existent.
