La Cieca hears that our dear Aprile Millo (who recently had to cancel a Teatro Grattacielo appearance due to illness) is ready to bounce back big time in 2008.

Word on the street is that Millo will join longtime colleague Dolora Zajick for a bel canto duet in OONY’s spring gala, followed by a return to the roster of the Metropolitan Opera for the 2008-09 season.

While we wait, here’s some prime Millo via YouTube.
