Congratulations Aprile Millo on the 25th Anniversary of your debut at the Metropolitan Opera

25 years ago, a young protégé stepped on to the stage of the Metropolitan opera and made history.   The opera was Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra,” and the role of Amelia a perfect fit for the young soprano.  Since then, she has graced the stages of the world with her golden voice and devoted herself entirely to an authentic Italian style.  She remains the reigning queen of Italian Opera in this century.  A couple of weeks ago she celebrated her 25th anniversary with the Opera Orchestra of New York in a recital at the Fredrick P. Rose Recital Hall at the home of Jazz at Lincoln Center.  Yesterday marked the eve of her Met debut 25 years ago.  On behalf of all your fans, supporters, and friends,…

Congratulations Aprile!

As Amelia in Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra”
