Look Who’s Singing
Last night I attended the Coro Giuseppe Verdi concert at the Columbus Centre where my friend Susie and her fabulous choir sang varied pieces of opera accompanied by an accomplished pianist. I was really impressed with their work - and it reminds me that I need to get Nessun Dorma from Turandot in mp3 format so that I can enjoy it anytime: I only have it in LP format at the moment.
You will probably never guess who was singing at the concert …. Remember Pasquale, the singing chef? He had a show called Pasquale’s Kitchen Express - you can tell he loved to sing if you ever saw his show - he would spontaneously break into song when cooking (something I only do in private). He took opera classes at the Royal Conservatory of Music and met his wife through singing - she is a soprano. If you guessed Pasquale was at the show, well you would be wrong because I am sorry to say that he is no longer with us. But his wife and daughter were both singing there and his daughter performed a few solo pieces and she was wonderful, she has a lovely voice. I wonder if she inherited his cooking skills as well - that would be so unfair.
