Casta Diva Cameos

then Montserrat Caballe, Renee Fleming, Cecilia

Bartoli - Maria Callas - Sumi Jo as well as Olga

Vilenskaia, and then, at age nine in 2021, came

this: how strange, how wonderful, opera will live

on with new talent willing to learn these arias

 

In order to keep delight alive…

Another cameo performance - Katia Ricciarelli

[Opera “Norma” Schopenhauer: loss of the will to live,
