We, regular Russia Saint-Petersburg opera spectators, will never forget prima donna Ludmilas voice in our favorite stages in the Northern musical capital of the world. We really miss her but we a glad to see her in the new workplace and listen to the new beautiful sounds of her wonderful strong tender voice from the American Helsinky cafe by video!

When a place deserves a symphony, it is big enough - not geographically but culturally, even if its non-prison population counts up to 1000... and this is solely due to Matt and Liudmila. Well, and SacBee too, of course! Especially nice that a smell, or flavor, or odor, of Northeast Europe (the other side of the globe!) is so clearly felt at the other side of Sierra Nevada!
