This is wonderful! I was honored to sing for the re-dedication of the Roudanez tomb. I noticed a Dede on one of the tombs. Is it a relative of the free composer Edmond Dédé, whose lost opera we are premiering?

[@SaxManSon]

Yes, that's right. Same family Dede as the composer.

Yes my family tomb is Dede. I am a relative of the great composer Edmond.
