The Spanish soprano, 82, should have appeared in a Barcelona court this morning to settle her tax-fraud case. It would have cost her half a million Euros in exchange for a Get out of Jail card.

    I don’t care about her alleged tax evasion, but to meow through an aria like the Vivaldi at 4:38 is unforgivable.
