The Canadian mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta – Young Singer of the Year at the 2018 International Opera Awards – is appearing in a hair-care commercial.


Whatever she uses, I’m getting some.

    Between her and Khatia Buniatishvili, the hair care industry is safe. But good or important music making?

      It is the downfall of classical music as we know it!!!!!

      Oh wait, what artists do on their free time has absolutely no incidence on their music-making abilities. Never mind…

    Any relation to conductor Joseph Giunta?

    Move over Barbara Hannigan! Oh wait . . . Hannigan is a soprano. Maybe they could do some Mozart or Handel together in one of those ‘racy’ productions.

    She is just a touch too ‘perfect’ – her voice is lacking warmth and timbre. That’s why her Carmen debut in Leipzig somehow did not please the critics and the audience (as I was told).
