[Magdalen] It Trittico Opera Stuff.

[Georgia DuBose]

Cady invited local Magdalen folk to help her usher at the Castleton
Festival in Rappahannock County, Virginia in 2010. I accepted, and Il
Trittico was the bill, conducted by Loren Maazel, the founder of the
festival. The performances were amazing, and a woman named Joyce
El-Khoury was Lauretta in Gianni Scicchi, thus singing Mio Babbino
Caro. She was amazing. Everyone was amazing.

Then that wonderful duet starting with the piano, from La Rondine, as our lovers-to-be lose themselves to lust in the Florentine countryside but are interrupted by Maggie Smith.
