Dear Anne, I am so glad you are re-inspired. I only wish all those old
divas and critics would realize that THE MUSIC WORLD HAS CHANGED, and it is
the NEW singers in their late 30s and early 40s who really have artistically
interesting work to offer.

You sound like a perfect candidate for bel-canto work. If you sound like
Caballe, they should be paying you a fortune to sing Vespri and Ernani and
lots of other wonderful early Verdi!

If you are no longer trying to get hired for the Queen of the Night, why on
earth do you need a high F? Work on bread&butter spinto parts like
Trovatore Leonora (she has a high Db, but nothing above that), Butterfly,
Aida, etc.

Good luck and God bless --
