I first heard this opening act when I was 9 years old. My father brought the 3 LP set home from the Central Library. The entire opera fascinated me from the very start. I loved Caro Nome and sang it without words as I didn't know how to pronounce Italian. Later taking voice as an adult I'm sure I studied it. This is a meaningful opera for me because it was my introduction to Verdi.

BRAVA, BRAVISSIMA!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT TALENT. I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALL DAY LONG! I've BEEN A "LOVER" OF VERDI ALL MY LIFE, (first time I ever heard his MUSIC i WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD, in my native Italy). THAT ENCOUNTER WAS PRECISELY, RIGOLETTO which I still consider the greatest of ALL OPERAS, and DEFEND VERDI AGAINST ALL OTHERS, NO MATTER WHO. You are as beautiful as you are talented. Please excuse my exuberance. God bless and wish you ALL SUCCESS. I wish I could play the piano. Take good care of yourself.

No wonder I loved it from the first Act! It's so delightful, especially as Iryna plays!

Turning pages smoothly while playing, like you do, is something I never could master. This is a problem for me since I have a very poor memory for playing by heart.
