From then on, I’ve tried to catch Gauvin wherever I can. I’ve seen her at Glyndebourne (in Rinaldo), in Montreal (Theodora), a few times in Boston, here and there elsewhere on occasion. Mostly through recordings, though. If I’m not imagining it, I remember hearing a Met Donna Elvira was discussed but never came to pass. It’s not only a beautiful voice, but she is stylish in a wide range of repertoire from Baroque opera to Massenet mélodies.
