In general opera news, but she probably deserves a thread to herself.

More historical and (somehow sentimental) musings. I heard her only once live, possibly in Amsterdam.

Oh this is very sad, hadn't heard. Will have to think about recordings, there must be many.

Sad news. May God rest her in peace.
Music should humbly seek to please; within these limits great beauty may perhaps be found. Extreme complication is contrary to art. Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.- Debussy
