Dear Ashot, thank you very much for the information! Do you know if Mirella ever sang at La Scala? Wikipedia states she probably never did. Do you have any information on that?

ReplyDeleteMy friend 90% she never appeared at the Teatro Alla Scala. I have no information about that. Thank you for your comments.
