GG Esposito

Maria Esposito has dressed sopranos at the opera house in Naples for thirty years, and there is no tantrum in the fitting room she has not already seen twice. Nothing that happens at a board reaches her. Not a lost game, not a gammon, and certainly not an opponent's behaviour, and she will say so, kindly, with an example. She plays on feel rather than counting, takes a win like a final curtain and a loss with an appreciative nod for the better singer, and she has a story for anybody who will listen. Most of them are about somebody famous behaving badly.
