| LYRICAL
EVENING |
Date:
15 August 2005
| The
lyrical evening at the Club
on Sunday 14th August provided
"an incredible journey
through opera, operetta and
musical", thanks to the
talented artists who, accompanied
on the piano by Maestro Riccardo
Leone, regaled the audience
with moving and memorable performances.
Verdi, Puccini and Rossini,
one after another Othello's
Desdemona, the Barber of Seville's
Bertha and Puccini's Edgar materialized,
before giving way to Jesus Christ
Superstar and Gershwin's dreamy
Summertime via Walt Disney's
charming Cinderella, not forgetting,
of course, "I could have
danced all night" from
"My Fair Lady". Once
again this year this splendid
production was directed by Daniele
Rubboli. |

sugar basket of strawberries
with walnut cream” while
in the Entrees section, the

prepared aboard the Norwegian
“Valentina II”,
owned by Enrico Manca, took

A special mention must go to
