The show must go on for Greek soprano after ferry fire

Greek opera star Dimitra Theodossiou talks to the Associated Press during an interview in Rimini, Italy, Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2014. Theodossiou was among the passengers of the Norman Atlantic ferry that caught fire in the Adriatic Sea Sunday, Dec. 28. She told the Associated Press she was 18 hours on the deck before being rescued and taken to a hospital in the Italian town of Lecce where she was treated for hypothermia. Theodossiou described a harrowing wait for rescuers on the bridge of the ship. She said men had rushed forward from lower decks, even after being told to“give precedence to children, the elderly and women.” (AP Photo/Marco Vasini) RIMINI, Italy (AP) — Dimitra Theodossiou survived the Greek ferry disaster, but took no time off to recover from the traumatic evacuation: The Greek soprano was back at work Tuesday, rehearsing for her New Year's Day debut in Giuseppe Verdi's "Nabucco."
