Thought she had only just lost her dad the other week?
Right you are. Only a week ago had she funerals of her dad. I’ve been stunned she is such a posh and plush smiling person theese days. No comments
I think this is unfair. She recently lost her beloved father, but he was a good age. So was mine when he died. I considered, and do to this day, that he was a great loss to my life, but it was not a tragedy.
50 is considered a significant birthday by most people and I doubt that her father, with whom she apparently had a close and happy relationship, would begrudge his daughter a celebration of this event.
I do agree with V.Lind
Did she have enough breath to blow out her candles, ’cause she surely hasn’t got it for the (scheduled) upcoming Abigailles in Wien (tickets still on sale for the three performances preceding Domingo’s Abschied).
Oh, she has the breath. The question is, does she have the judgment to direct her own career?
Perhaps Domingo nudged her into Verdi’s voice-killing role. It’s a shame, and I hope she cancels!
She’s managed her career so far. And she’s working. What’s your point?

I thought she lived in Vienna and New York.
