Waltraud Maier is a consummate artist and I am so pleased about the award – I had no idea she was 60! I saw her in full magnificence in Tannhauser not that long ago and the beauty and richness of her voice, as well as her acting skills, are things I will never forget. In the role of Kundry, I would imagine that she still has great things to bring to that very special role, reagrdless of actual age. 60 is the new 40, after all!
