It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Wow - I thought she died a long time ago

My wife and I saw her do Tosca at SF Opera when she was in her 70's I believe. Frankly, we didn't think much of her singing, but the fact that she could get up on stage and do it at all was amazing. Her claque was there, so she got lots of applause and cheering. In a way, I guess the performance WAS remarkable, but then I think of all the deserving younger singers who would IMHO have done a much better job with the role at that time. I've never heard any of Olivero's recordings when she herself was in her prime however.
