    I realize that this is laziness on my part, but is my favourite soprano and a regular of this company, Miss Susan Gritton, singing in any of these productions?

    I’ve only heard YouTube clips of her, so it’s hard to say. Hopefully I’ll get to hear her live one day.

    Right here from J. Vaughan. I’m sorry to have not heard her when I lived in Munich, as she seems to sing the sort of music I like best.
