Aïda and Sir Antonio Pappano.

Latest news from Rome: After six days of recording, the cast is now getting ready for the gala concert (Feb 27).
Maestro Pappano about his work, the cast and Verdi's Aïda.

The record will be released in Autumn... and the concert is getting nearer and nearer...
I am glad winter seems to be vanishing here in Provence. Rome weather is also going to be sunny and warmer so the cast will be safe from cold icy nights bad for the voice...provided they can stay in Italy and relax until the 27th... warmer than Germany,  Paris and Russia!
