The voice of Amália Rodrigues (1920-1999), the "Queen of Fado" and Portugal's most celebrated diva, was extraordinary for its interpretive power, soul wrenching timbre, and international reach. Amalia à I'Olympia (Amália at the Olympia) (1957) is an album made from recordings of her first performances at the fabled Olympia Music Hall in Paris in 1956. This album, which was issued for multiple national markets (including: France; the United States; Japan; the United Kingdom; the Netherlands) catapulted Amália Rodrigues into the international limelight. During its time, this album held the potential for international listeners, outside of Portugal, to represent Portugal, while also standing in for cosmopolitanism, evoking the glamorous city of Paris, and presenting a voyage in sound. This book introduces readers to the voice of Amália Rodrigues and to the genre of the Portuguese fado, offering a primer in how to listen to both. It unpacks this iconic album and the voice, sound, style, and celebrity of Amália Rodrigues. In so doing, it examines processes that shaped the internationalization of peripheral popular musics and the making of female vocal stardom in the mid-twentieth century.
