Fixed on our post! I have had people misspelling my name all my life (Michelle instead of Michele) and it stinks! But I find comfort in knowing though that it doesn’t stop people from enjoying his extraordinary voice!

Yes, I know. A few years ago, I learned that Queen Victoria banned the Irish language. My surname was changed from Cuinn to Quinn by her too. Not to mention Mickaleen, Mike, Michael, Michelle, Micchelli as well.

These selections are wonderful. The first taste I had of opera was in the early 70s in Montreal, hearing Leontyne Price sing Un bel di from Butterfly.....magical. And I love the aria Ebben?...Ne andro lontana from La Wally and sung so beautifully in the French film Diva.
