Links (will) lead to translations of that performer's program bio (from whatever program I happen to have--in most cases, not Elisabeth), headshot, and fan club/Web site info, where available. I will only give my opinions of performances I have seen in person--recordings, TV clips, and so on will not count. Even I can be fair on occasion. :)
If you want to help me translate a missing bio, or can provide even untranslated bios for a missing performer, please email me and I'll let you know if that's one I need help with. Thanks!
