Latest in a collaboration between Italy’s L’Opera magazine and La Scala to celebrate the careers of singers – both living and deceased – was Saturday’s encounter with the great Bulgarian soprano Raina Kabaivanska, still statuesque and glamourous at 82.
Interspersed with audio and video clips of some of her celebrated roles, were well-aimed questions from the extremely knowledgeable director and vice director of L’Opera, Sabino Lenoci and Giancarlo Landini.
