loving opera... so did Adie from about 10 years old when I tricked her into watching La Boheme on PBS. Is what she went to uni to study. Alto all through school and mezzo in uni. She was pretty good. Those damned foreign language books and dictionaries were expensive though.

Thinking this little girl is getting an early education in pronunciation, but what about the meaning of what she is singing? Even though she is wonderfully expressive, she may not yet have the emotional understanding and input to what she sings. As she matures, takes on board the story lines and characterisations...   whoa... look out!
