    Is that for Ms Prina or Ms Podles?

    Unless there's an e-mail from them I haven't opened (and I don't think there is), they have not sent this message to their subscribers.

    Podles. I got the news in a press release yesterday. Prina can be heard on YouTube and elsewhere and sounds good. BUT STILL.

    What a shame! Podles was amazing here in Houston this season in Daughter of the Regiment and Masked Ball. Easily the highlight of both shows.

    Yeah - major disappointment here! I fear I may never hear her in person. I don't understand why her career hasn't had more traction in the US, considering the quality of that voice.
