Cher public, La Cieca can hardly believe that the musical event of the season has slipped her mind until just this very minute. She is talking, of course, about the concert tonight in Prospect Park by (in alphabetical order) Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu. The Thirteen/WNET website helpfully notes that “Gheorghiu and Alagna aren’t strangers to each other. The pair performed together in Charles François Gounod’s ‘Romeo & Juliette,’ which appeared on GREAT PERFORMANCES.” (La Cieca knew she’d seem them together somewhere!)
The site also features a charming photo of the pair modeling their fashion choices for the concert. As you can see, Angela has borrowed a frock from Michelle Obama, and Roberto has decided to beat the June heat by singing in the nude.
