Dear Nothin:
Thank you so much for answering this question. The credits go by too quickly no matter how many times I watch this DVD. :-)
See my other item about Maggie Smith and singing. I will repeat it here. I bet she is not opera quality so they didn't want to show her actually singing? Though I suppose they could have done a voice over?
