Give thanks tonight for the return of the crucible of Italian opera.

But fewer than 600 will be allowed in for an 8pm recital by Luca Salsi, baritone; Beatrice Rana, piano; and Mischa Maisky, cello.

    Wonderful concert by three superb artists – and Simone Piazzola, who performs excerpts from Don Carlo, Rigoletto and La Traviata, is sensational.

    And how fitting it is to end the concert with the love theme from Cinema Paradiso, on Mischa Maisky’s soulful cello, as an encore and a tribute to the late, great Ennio Morricone.

    Bravissimo!
