If you are interested the very earliest part of the century, let me
recommend two on Louise Homer, American Contralto.

Anne Homer-Louise Homer and the Golden Age of Opera
Sidney Homer-My Wife and I

The Sidney Homer books was available in a reprint until recently, but last
time I checked it was out of print. Many libraries have these, however.

They provide fascinating insight into opera from 1900 to 1920. Good reads!
