GfS, you've got to learn to read thoroughly. Or at least scan a bit more thoroughly.

On 01 July at 5:04 p.m., I responded to a post of Sawzaw's. Then, I inserted a divider (####) and wrote a fairly long and detailed answer to your question about Jackie Evancho's singing of Nessun Dorma and what Puccini may very well have thought of it. Along with some other obsevations.

Go look.   Actually, I've been waiting for your response to that, and wondering if you'd just lost interest.

Why would you think I might not respond to your question? It's hardly one that would be any kind of challenge to me. Opera is a subject in which I am particularly well versed.

P. S. By the way, Barbara and I have guests coming this evening, arriving in about half an hour, so I probably won't be able to get back to you until tomorrow.
