read writings of. I never got to meet her, but I did get to hear her in the Kennedy Center as part of that recital your which she completed because she was a real pro, when she was suffering so from a throat ailment that she requested o encores. At the beginning someone at the venue made the announcement, and no one ever believed it because it seemed impossible she could sing like that if she felt that bad. The one I attended she made the announcement herself - which sounded awful, though the recital sounded heavenly. But at least we respected her wishes.

The Met has a Sirius XM channel, BTW. Might be another place to look. The Marriage of Figaro broadcast will be on April 26 live.
