Nella , it was a blast 🎭✨ Gianni Schicchi, G. Puccini @csopera 2025 This master piece quickly became one of my favorite: there is so much genius in the writing, beauty in the music and it’s insanely funny. It was a pretty tough time for me then, and Nella literally put me back on my feet so I’ll forever have a tender spot for her 🙏🏼 #giannischicchi #puccini #nella #soprano #opera
