Sadly, I recycled my program so I can't check.<br /><br />I believe my criticism of de Niese was entirely in casting. As I said, her comedy was superb. But you shouldn't sing Susanna if you don't have the right voice. FYI I'm a former choir singer who never attempted opera and now sings jazz. So scratch the jealousy. And no critic worth reading would base his review on audience reaction. That's cowardice. However, I am from the planet NekTar in the Smeltar Region;-)Michael J.

You are obviously a Danielle de Niese hater or a jealous failed colleague.Miss Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725087005512537039noreply@blogger.com
