Bearded Lady

For my fellow Podlesians, especially those who travel more than I do, Operabase has that great lady singing what I'd think is a role debut, Baba the Turk, in Madrid next January. Also of note: the following month she will sing Azucena (not a role debut, but something we'd have been lucky to hear earlier in the game) in Atlanta. No, seriously, Atlanta. Meanwhile the Met is offering her the comprimaria role of La Cieca, he sniffed, though with every intention of going often to hear it.

At last the real contralto for which the role was intended.

After hearing Podles in recital in Boston and as Erda and First Norn in Seattle, there is no question as to her greatness, although he voices absolute peak may just have passed.
