We have a result for Neue Stimmen 2007:
1. Marina Rebeka (see above with Francisco Araiza and Liz Mohn)
2. Fernando Javier Rado
3. Diego Torre
4-6 Anita Watson, Yali Wang, Christiane Karg
7-8 Genare Gashi, Sung-Kon Kim
And on a happy personal note, Reri Grist joined us in the intermission so we had in the room two stunning sopranos who were on the roster at Glyndebourne during my first year there in 1962 - Reri as Zerbinetta and Despina, and Edith as Cherubino. So Francisco Araiza took this picture of us above!
We have a party now, and I am out of here early.........more from Dusseldorf airport tomorrow, or otherwise when I am back in Chicago. Good night everyone and congratulations to ALL the Neue Stimmen competitors for making the week such a pleasure for us.
