The document reports on a two-act opera gala concert featuring arias and choruses from famous operas by composers such as Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, and Mascagni. The concert was conducted by Peter Tiboris and Giovanni Pacor and featured solo performances by soprano Eilana Lappalainen, tenor Gian Luca Pasolini, and bass-baritone Carry Persson. The narrator notes this was their third concert experience and first opera concert. They were impressed by Lappalainen's performance of "Salce! Salce!" from Otello and found it conveyed the tragic love story between the characters in a moving way.

2. My feel about the concert


This is my 3rd time participating in a concert, and also my first time participating in an opera concert. I
was introduced by my music teacher and I know about this concert. I was very impressed with the song
"Scale Scale" performed by Ms. Lappalainen. this is a song about the love story of Emilia and Otello. This
is a tragic love story between two people. The song was performed very well by the singer, it gave me a
very special feeling, I deeply sympathize with the story of the two characters in this song. And I hope
next time if I have a chance, I will continue to go to the opera concert next time.
