I am disguisted too, and live in Holland!
Margaret Roest is quite a well known dutch singer, only she sings a lot of oratorium. She played Mdm. Giry in Phantom and did a lot of Verdi in local productions.
I am quite a well known dutch operasinger myself, but sing mainly in Germany (Turandot and other stuff…), Margaret was a fine collegue in my Phantom time as Carlotta.
I think that father Pondman is cruel to his children and that he will ruin their voices before they can ever mature!
Well said hojotoho, I am a singer myself too and know the family well. These voices are byond saving, if somebody doesn’t intervene. Its tragic that the narcissistic father isn’t stopped.
