When Varnay was eight years old, Puccini’s opera Turandot premiered in Milan.

Also today marks the Birthday anniversaries of bass Italo Tajo (1915), singer Ella Fiztgerald (1917) , soprano Irene Jordan (1919) and
bass Fritz Hübner (1933).

Happy 72nd birthday tenor Seppo Ruohonen, and 69th birthday mezzo-soprano Cynthia Clarey.
