...that's disgusting!") As for James Bond, the way Durkin describes Daniel Craig's performance in Casino Royale ("this guy is just hard-arse, and then he actually falls in love and you believe it"), he could be the male equivalent of her Alcina, whose affair with the knight Ruggiero brings her crashing to earth. Skype enables the daily video chats she has with her new husband, rising American tenor Matt Morgan, at their home in Manhattan, where he is performing Frederick in Pirates of Penzance for the New York City Opera.
