  • Hugh Kerr says:

    Looking forward to it Norman you can tell her Slipped Disc in my reviews has been proclaiming her as the most exciting dramatic soprano of our time.

  • Guy says:

    She’s not even wearing heels. How tall is she?

  • Continental Breakfast says:

    I’ve never heard of her. Can you do Barenboim or Blomstedt next? Or Pletnev !

    • Tiredofitall says:

      Have you been in solitary confinement for the past few years? Or in a coma?

      On second thought, you must be just making a joke.

      • Selene says:

        She has the notes but not much else if you compare with Birgit N, Gwyneth J, Margaret P, Kirsten F – you know, those that could actually sing the roles she attempts. Hence, I avoid this wannabe warbler. The fact she’s down to do a Ring with YNS at the Met says it all for how low she will go to try and have a career.

  • Philipp Lord Chandos says:

    “Der verachtete Zwerg, wie wird er geehrt!”
