    Bless them all and cut Kaufmann some slack next time he cancels.
    And remember the wonderful mezzo Lucia Valentini-Terrani (1946-1998), who was afflicted with the same kind of leuchemia as Carreras and even went to the same hospital for treatment (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle).

      What a unhappy person You must be…. Kaufmann did not cancel a single performance this year…….

      • Eeva Nurro says:

        Dear Mrs. Riegler, I’m not sure if you understand the meaning of the words “cut slack”. It’s an idiom in the English language, meaning “to NOT judge someone severely, to be LESS critical of someone’s behavior”.

        • Petros Linardos says:

          Thank you Eeva.

        • Margarita Mc says:

          Thank you for clarifying that for the previous commentator, Eeva.

          Thank You for explanation. Your posting could even be misunderstood…… The meaning of my (helped by google) translation was exactly the opposite.

          • Petros Linardos says:

            All good. Were you using Google to translate between German and English? Google translations between those two languages. I’ve experienced this myself.

            Alles klar. Haben Sie Google verwendet um zwischen Deutsch und Englisch zu übersetzen? Da ist Google unzuverlässig. Das habe ich auch selbst erlebt.
