Even for this International Award of 'Singer of the Year', I have not found one article about it with photos of the artist, either in Forum Opera, Resmusica or Altamusica... or in the press articles I scanned either...
This artist is almost tip-toeing through celebrity and wonderful renditions...
I have decided to imagine my own celebration, modestly, as my photographer's gifts are rather poor, but at least I was in the audience for Aïda, and presented this great singer with a tiny bunch I selected for her the previous evening at Campo di Fiori. It was rather small because I did not want it to be embarassing, just a token of my respect and admiration for all she does in the music realm, for us.
She agreed to have some photos taken with us after this long concert version where she gave all her heart and art to us!
Here is a crop I did in a group taken by the Munich friends after Aïda on Feb the 27th.
The sweetest smile ever with simplicity and natural elegance!
Then I have decided to show more of the Lohengrin I attended in Berlin, and there is also a photo sent by my friend in Munich.`
In fact she did not travel to London for this Award because she had the last Lohengrin performance to do in Berlin and then very soon after she was back in Munich for two Forza del Destino. So she was rather busy. I read she sent a thank letter but I never managed to find it on the web either ...
This is definitely the illustration of the "DD" I talked before here, and here for Discreet Diva !
Here she is with her Lohengrin fellow singers at the bows at the Deutsch Oper: it could well be the last rendition .
It is a lively picture taken by my Munich friend. She is waving to the conductor Donald Runnicles who was ever so efficient in this splendid opera. Her blonde wig is so strange!

I am quite sure she received a bunch of flowers from my Munich friend, at the last Lohengrin rendition.
All her photos with bouquets on the blog here, apart from this smallest one of all, are from my Munich friend.
