    La Cieca, have you seen this brilliant blog? No, it’s not mine, but the criticism there is spot on!!

    Here’s a post about Caballe, another about Katherine Jenkins and Darcy Bussell and a brilliant review of some tenor from somewhere in South America.

    I hope you’ll add this blog to the list on your site because Katherine Jenkins needs more exposure. I’m sure Kiri would agree!

    Hi Sofine,

    I’m sure you’ll find on this blog plenty of us opera snobs who will seriously curse the day when dear Kath makes her ROH debut where she will outdo all of Maria Callas’s accomplishments (next season? Really?) While I’m not shy of linking my own blog to these comment pages, I think you’re targeting the wrong crowd to put it in a nice way.

    By the way, the code for linking URLs is: a href=”www…”

    If you actually read the blog, you’ll see that it’s quite tongue-in-cheek.

    Since the links weren’t working for whatever reason, I thought I’d repost. I have no idea whose blog this is. It is not mine, but it is funny.
