Wish we were there.

“Wish we were there.”
Are you sure?
78 is respectable and I wish Frau Bumbry all the best. But the voice, how good is her voice?
Brava diva!
Probably better than some 30 year olds with her technique she had in the past!
She was a superb actress as well as singer. I particularly remember the Salome she sang for Solti at Covent Garden.
