I'm sure she's making a far better living doing what she's
doing now than she would at the entry level of the opera
profession. And it could be her artistic temperment is
better suited to what she's doing now. I didn't know of her
classical background. But I suspected as much, because she's
able to do so much, so well, with what sounds like a light
voice. I would love to see her perform Cunegonde (in
Candide), which was written for someone just like her. But
even more, I'd love to see new, good roles written for her.
