(I have a new one under construction, so please have patience with this one for the time being! Many thanks!!)
I hope you find it useful - here you can get to know about my past and future performances, about what I'm up to at the
moment in my carreer, you can see pictures of me from various opera productions and performances, and soon even hear
the sound samples from them! Feel free to contact me, or to leave a message for me in the Guest Book, and I will try to get
back to you as soon as possible!

The Finnish-born but Scottish-trained soprano Henriikka Grondahl sang Mimi.. Cover artist she may have been, but Grondahl
fitted the role like a glove, with a delightful voice that combined delicacy and strength. In "O, soave fanciulla" particularly,
her voice and Auty's, were wonderfully matched.
