To tell the truth

Four of La Cieca’s favorite people, Diana Soviero, Ira Siff, Robert Lombardo and Ken Benson, assemble on November 9 at the impressively named “Metropolitan Opera Guild Learning Center” to trade their views on the subject of verismo opera. It’s a panel discussion sponsored by the Marcello Giordani Foundation, and there’s more information on tickets and times here.

    Very interesting. Too bad about your photo. I’d love to have seen it. I wonder if her visit to the salon was in preparation for the celebratory dinner at the Met at which I met her. If so, your friend Gigi did a great job. I remember she was wearing a blue sequined dress that must have cost a fortune. Upper class family indeed.
