MILAN – Our last day here. I had a shopping day with Maria and this evening we saw Un Ballo in Maschera at La Scala with Marcelo Álvarez singing Riccardo and his wife, Sondra Radvanovsky, singing Amelia. It was a fabulous evening. Alvarez is a star and Radvanovsky is a superstar; the La Scala crowd was cool to Alvarez and accepting of Radvanovsky (who’s an American who grew up in the Midwest) but booed the young conductor, who according to our host was not up to La Scalla level work. This is one tough crowd. Here’s Maria in our box.
From breakfast earlier in the day.
On this day one year ago: Marble Collegiate Church.
