Now, Luiz Gazzola will have the pleasure of seeing her for the second time live on stage, in her Santa Fe Opera performance of the role of Anna Erisso in Rossini's Maometto Secondo, which Opera Lively is extensively covering, with full announcement [

OL - Dear Leah, I'd like to ask you some follow-up questions on Maometto II to include in our coverage. But first, let me compliment you on your interview with Opera News Magazine. We are happy that we spotted you before they did! (laughs)
LC - Dearest Luiz, thank you so much for the compliments on the interview for Opera News! It was great fun!
