I grew up in a musical family. My mother, an accomplished operatic soprano, performed all over this country, Europe and the Far East when I was growing up. My world was filled with the music of various operas and classical music, which I also enjoyed playing on the piano. My path took me on a culinary route and then a literary one but classical music has always been very important to me. I have chosen this beautiful duet, The Fleur Duet, from Leo Delibes three act opera, first performed in Paris in 1883. This particular performance will showcase the beautiful voices of Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca.
