OLGA BORODINA




Everybody has to report to work sick now and then, but not many of us pull it off with the kind of flair that Olga Borodina displayed in Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall on Sunday afternoon.
The Russian mezzo-soprano, who has been busy breathing life into the San Francisco Opera production of Saint-Saëns' "Samson and Delilah," crossed the bay for a short recital of songs by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, presented by Cal Performances. And according to an introductory announcement from director Robert Cole, she took the stage while still suffering from a bronchial infection.
I'll take his word for it.
