A very special anniversary evening

We had made plans to celebrate a special wedding anniversary with a trip to an opera festival in the US but of course that anti-social virus put paid to that. So 4 weeks ago I had an idea. If we can't go to the opera may be the opera can come to us? This was to be a complete surprise for my wife, Lynda and the brief was for a recital of arias in the intimate setting of our garden deck just for the two of us. Donna-Marie had an amazing repertoire and a strong opera element to her background so I chose her for the job and wow did she deliver! She loved my plan and engaged with is from the get go. We planned the programme together ranging from Brindisi to the challenging Ebben ne Andro Lontana which she absolutely nailed. Donna had us in tears and laughing as opera should. She was lovely, fun and threw herself in to the brief. Lynda was completely surprised and utterly thrilled. We think that this was better than our original plan! So thank you Donna. Love from both of us! Bob & Lynda
