Beautiful singinf... and visually funny (big Terfel vs little Alagna)
Roberto Alagna sings "La Marseilaise", France hymn, music arranged by Berlioz.
Not the best song (especially the lyrics, OMG)Alagna's engagement is really good I think, his singing, if not perfect, is really convincing.

I left the end of the show that followed : Jennifer speaks a rather fluent French...
Roberto Alagna recording "La Donna è mobile" from Verdi's Rigoletto, in 1994.
