    Park wasn’t bad in the Tchaikovsky (channeling Hvorostovsky) but I’m with the South Africans, Noluvuyiso and Bongani Justice. May they “channel” Pretty Yende who sewpt the boards in 2011.

    My vote goes to Andrea Carroll – a small woman with a big voice. She sang a wonderful Gilda at Opera Santa Barbara in November 2014.

  • Marg says:

    Id put my money on Darren Pene Pati whom Ive heard several times. He has a wonderful voice and great stage presence. Im sure all of them are absolutely tops and worth of the prize, really.
