forgive him. he's just 21. :)

the argentinian bass is terrible and the aria is wayy to big for his voice. if he continues to sing this way and sing this repetoire, he will not have a good or long career

Ms.Marina Rebeka!

Toutes mes felicitations!!! You are great!

A Japanese musicologist (REAL musicologist) wrote that you were perfect so much already in "Il viaggio a Reims" that he was so impressed. He predicted that you would be very soon a primadonna.

You have a real aura of grandeur and you are charming at once!

I am happy at having met you in Riga, at Farinelli Fest 2007!

Looking forward to meeting in Tokyo!
