Old enough to be the grandmother of the character she's playing, and old enough to be the mother of the singer playing her beau, La Devia sings and acts this to perfection, and defines the role. I wonder if she plans to sing it on stage? I hope she does!

@thomastmwc Excellent detective work.....

This virtually unknown singer is probably one of the finest in the world in this repertoire. Opera companies take note....

@DonySmurf2009 @DonySmurf2009 Hi, I'm sorry to tell you that Ms. Auger died of cancer in 1993, but continued to perform sublimely till near the end.

@rnettell Ah, Rienzi! I'm singing in it next year (under my real name, which this isn't)....I believe it sounds a lot like Meyebeer...

@elliekat73 That's what I heard too! But listening to it on iPlayer, I think not....

@singerswithpresence I'm with you on the assessment of this clip! Just for accuracy, the cellist is Paul Watkins....and I don't think John Tom has ever sung better.

A terrific young talent. My congratulations.

@nancywilken I think Christa Ludwig's first husband was Walter Berry, wasn't he?

My admiration for La Devia grows each time I hear her.

What a sensational talent. The US is producing phenomenal sopranos - Latonia Moore, Ailyn Perez, Amber Wagner - these young women are already amongst the best in the world.
