La Cieca is most unhappy indeed to report that coloraturafan, the undisputed monarch of opera on YouTube, has had his “fourth or fifth” account on the service deleted, which to us lesser fans means the loss of over 3,000 spectacular video clips of operatic performance. Coloraturafan himself tells the sad tale after the jump.
