The exact date of this episode is unknown. We've filled in the date above with a placeholder. What we actually have on record is: 196u-uu-uu.
She started her career as a pianist at a conservatory in Paris. Coloratura voice is rare. It should be a velvet and round sound.
Her singing Lucia in key of F not E or E flat. Everything is easy if you know how to do it and have the proper schooling. Cannot force notes. The most difficult thing is the phrasing and expression. She talks about her debut at the Metropolitan.
Lucia is her favorite role.
