See more Jo 05/16/2024 I found Asmik Gregorian no where near the great Renato Scotto so I was disappointed with the lack of talent. Lovely voice but nothing else See more GINNY C 05/15/2024 SINGERS WERE INCREDIBLE, "BUTTERFLY" WAS AN EXCELLENT ACTRESS WITH A STELLAR VOICE. ENDING BROUGHT TEARS FOR SURE.
