Why do you say Cuturrufo is Spanish when the article clearly states he is Chilean? Do you seriously not know the difference? Shameful.
The Chilean Cuturrufo as “Spanish”? Norman, you need to slightly update your info… just 203 YEARS!, haha… Greetings from central Chile (Concepción city, founded by the Spaniards in 1550).
François Grenier did not die of Covid, he comitted suicide because of all the concert cancellations.
Slippedisc is missing Spanish soprano and actress Adela Estévez, who died last March, 17th after 4 months in hospital. Adela was 58 and is deeply mourned by colleges and performing arts community. She was also founder of diario lírico (http://www.diariolirico.es/).
