Thanks for all the informations to Elsa, David, Marie-Claire, Peggy, Dré de Man, Margaret and Mike. I'm going to read Leonard Warren's boigraphy, and will listen to Barbara Cook. About Pavarotti : I asked a musical coach in the Opéra Bastille, he just said ŒIf I were tou, I !wouldn't write he cannot read music¹! Janine Reiss, a great musical coach especially known as french diction coach, in a recent interview in a french book, says that some today singers cannot read music, but she doesn't give any names. But I think that's enough on the subject! Finally, I just wanted to know if it happens that an opera singer learn a role entirely with a coach. Thanks again. Laurence
