"I like to live in the present. Of course, I watch my DVDs. I enjoyed every second of my career. Now I live with the young singers. I love them so much."
Give it Up for la signora Renata Scotto, winner of the Opera News 2006 Awards.
She even found the time for a serene zinger aimed at her fellow directors: "I had always a very good relationship with directors. Maybe, if I would sing nowadays, I don't know. They have sometimes ideas that don't go with the singing, the music."
She was joined by the other four winners: our sweet James "Jimbo" Levine, Deborah "Suck It h8rz" Voigt, Ben "I Can Almost DeNazify Wagner" Heppner and Rene "666" Pape.
