Welll done her!
Presented to the singer while she was still in the filthy frock she sang in. Everybody had a good larf.
Bravo ! Vous le méritez.
Detroit is fortunate and honored to have Christine Goerke as an arts ambassador
What exactly have I missed? She neither is specialized in French rep nor does she have an outstanding history in singing with French companies/festivals.
The performance of Elektra was simply awesome (by her and all) and this was a very touching and well-deserved award! She was so gracious when she accepted it too. A very special afternoon at the Kennedy Center. Oh, and that orchestra!! Sounded awesome.
