| "How is it that [Kiri] Te Kanawa has remained so normal, while other gifted sopranos have ended up prone to quirks and temper tantrums? "'I think they have a predisposition,' she says. 'They were already monstrous; they're just reverting to type. Their name sometimes gives you a clue, if you know what I mean.'" --from an article by Tim Smith in the Baltimore Sun of October 19, 2002. |
