    “I’m in awe and utter gratitude.’

    How’s her case going in the European Court of Human Rights for being strip searched by this totalitarian state?

  • Pianofortissimo says:

    She has surely the right merits.

  • Zandra Pretoria RSA says:

    Enjoyed you as Pamina in Paris two weeks ago. Such a priviledge to see you on stage! Congrats and Best wishes for the future.

  • Staal Burger says:

    ! Congratulations !
    Keep up the good work.
    I do hope she enjoys singing as much as we enjoy listening to her.
