| In SFO 2005-2006 Season Donna Leonora di Vargas - La Forza del Destino |
| NEW YORK -- No doubt, Andrea Gruber is the only singer in the world with the lyrics to the show tattooed on her back _ in Italian.
On Monday night, the American soprano appeared on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera with the words "In questa reggia" buried in the lavish costume of the tormented Chinese princess who sings the words _ a signature aria for Gruber. It was the season premiere of Giacomo Puccini's "Turandot," and the 39-year-old singer was in fine vocal form for the lyrics, "In this palace, thousands of years ago, a desperate cry rang out. And that cry found refuge in my soul." |

| International opera sensation Andrea Gruber calls her character Minnie, in Puccini's opera The Girl of the Golden West, "the sexiest character in all of opera." |
| Andrea Gruber gave a committed, intensely sung performance as Santuzza. Her large, searing soprano dominated the ensembles such as the �Inneggiamo� but she also scaled it back for a heart-felt �Voi lo sapete�. In her scenes with Alfio and Turiddu, Gruber did all she could to generate excitement with her more phlegmatic co-stars (Review-Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana.- 2003) |
