My favorite thing to do when I receive my new Opera News publication is to rip and open and see how many AVA names I can see in it (doesn’t everyone?)
In the last issue Brian Kellow wrote of megastar Aprile Millo’s concert of November 17, 2009 at Rose Hall in NYC. That’s news enough, but to have three of the AVA family invited to share the stage with her is wonderful news to my eyes.
Tenor Michael Fabiano “made piercing drama out of Zaza’s Ammogliato” writes Kellow. “She (Millo) and baritone Luis Ledesma (pictured) offered an incendiary Udiste?...Ah, dove sei, crudele from Il trovatore, with Danielle Orlando’s brilliantly virtuoso piano accompaniment…”
Ms. Millo has been a very good friend of AVA. She was an honored guest soloist at our 70th Anniversary gala in 2005. She also gave a private master class at AVA during that same time.
She has been known to attend AVA opera productions, the last being Lucia di Lammermoor with Angela Meade in the title role, and Michael Fabiano singing the role of Edgardo.
