Forced to leave Venice, Bembo, mother of three, fled to Paris and joined glorifying Louis XIV. Her music - opera, love song, cantata, motet, air - testifies to the magic of her singing voice. Fontijn's pathbreaking biography demonstrates how a courageous, talented woman thrived within the parameters of society and culture.
