The concert was enhanced by the presence of soprano Leila Chalfoun, who sang three arias by Handel: "Piangero la sorte mia", "Julio Cesare", "Verdi Prati" and

“Tornami a vagheggiar” from Alcina. Each of the pieces was revealing one by one the qualities of his voice. In the first, the beauty of a robust sound endowed with a volume that lets the soprano sense its strength; in the second, grace and lyrical expression; and in the third, the technique and the gift of coloratura.
