Soprano Valentina Nafornita from Moldova won this year's Cardiff competition at the age of only 24 with these renditions of Korngold and Gounod, among others:
One would think that the addition of this striking young talent to the Staatsoper's ensemble would be worth a press release, a mention on the website's cover page or anything of the like but, alas, this apparently was only worth an empty page. So far she is not officially scheduled to appear in any performances which is also a pity. If the arrival of Nafornita at this venerable house was communicated appropriately, enough people would rush to the Staatsoper to find out what the fuss was all about. Not to mention the positive momentum of the international attention directed at Nafornita after winning such a prestigious prize.
But this is just an amateur's opinion who found out about these delightful news by happenstance...
