granddaughter, Friedelind as houseguest in the summer of 1969. I wasn’t a big fan of opera but my step sister Ella Lee, was a up an coming opera singer in the mid/sixties.
Friedelind was Ella’s sponsor and promoter.
I was impressed by the work of Richard Burton. I never knew of this series until your post.
Thanks.
