Elaine Alvarez, Mimì and Violetta of the next 30 years & friend of Opera Chic, spakes to the Chicago Tribune (she granted us an interview last week, alas), and there's a very nice OC shout out from the august paper, and we're very grateful for it:
Indeed, after a sound bite with Alvarez appeared on the Web site Opera Chic last weekend, one admirer posted this note: "What a sweet young lady -- a lesson in professionalism to Gheorghiu."
Now the question is, who's up for a road trip to Leipzig in December, when La Alvarez is going to appear as Violetta (and, already the consummate pro, she's asking lots of questions to la signora Scotto, her director at the Lyric, to make her future Violetta even more affecting)?
