The sound of arias...


Running ParisDailyPhoto has undoubtedly many advantages. One of them is to allow me to meet and/or exchange with nice people from all over the world. But sometimes it goes further than that... Recently I received an email from a certain Florence, who follows PDP from somewhere in Asia (I won't disclose too much as she seems to be quite discrete on the Net!) and emailed me asking me if I would be interested in getting tickets for an opera arias concert in Paris!). You bet I was... So here I went last evening, at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées - a great theater located at Avenue Montaigne listening to Donizetti and Verdi. A big merci to Florence then, and to Marco Zambelli, the marvelous conductor who arranged for the tickets ;-)

  8. All proper respects to Eric, the founder of PDP!

    Thanks for all your kind words (which I don't quite deserve). It was Maestro Zambelli who managed everything.
