Other of our projects in Opera Lively will be to review in-Depth the career, singing style and best roles of some great singers already retired, or just about to retire in the next years. We will not address here Anna Natrebko, Juan Diego Flórez or Jonas Kaufmann, we will have a lot of opportunities in other threads.
