Thanks Douglas.

Bartoli in her prime would have been wonderful, ditto Terfal. I would 
have loved to have seen Damrau in Zauberflote, but I have the recording 
so will have to deal with that. Still on my list is DiDonato. My wife 
has seen her twice but I never seem to be in town when the two of them are!

As for the manipulation it was done using Snapseed on my phone.
