She seems uncoached, badly managed. I’m surprised at the very high quality bookings she’s gotten. In a word, why?
Gut so , warum nicht , wenn drei große Opernhäuser sie engagieren wird sie wohl sehr gut sein.Freuen uns über jede junge Stimme , egal welcher Herkunft.
If we go back in time to the so-called Cold War, we used to be grateful for Russians getting out to sing (or dance or play a recital, or conduct) in the West. And we’d be happy for them. After 1990, we heard how important it was to these traveling singers to taste the West, for their souls, music, motivation, for survival. Perhaps we should revert to that more generous behavior? Or else we might ban Trump-voting singers, too. And those that voted for Georgia Meloni? And those that part their hair on the left.
