Chris, you should be interested in this prominent young soprano. According to an Italian reviewer:
“The soprano of Maria Luigia Borsi is of such high recognition value, as it happens scarcely in this, meanwhile globalized, world of singers, and in the same time, she is able to bestow upon each of her figures, even if they are very close in their musical character, so much original, distinctive profile, as it happens only in rare occasions.”
No question she's a large figure on the opera stage. And on the bicycle path.
