Here's Litz in 2003 from the San Francisco Chronicle's pictoral tour through the Barbary Coast Trail. This picture was taken at Maiden Lane and Grant Street, which just happens to be at one of the turns in the Trail. Since she sings opera on the streets, bringing some of that grand art's most friendly and glorious music to hundreds of unsuspecting shoppers a week, and since she's there just about every weekend, she is now, apparently, part of the Trail!
You may hear samples of her voice at her MySpace page. Enjoy!

Here's a darling shot of the back of Litz - Yep, that's right, she even has fans of her hair!
