operapic (original) (raw)

These were taken at a reception at the Los Angeles Italian Culture Center, June, 1997:

Mrs. Roberta Pournelle (left), with Solveig Kringlebotn, soprano, who was the Countess in the LA Opera production of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro. Jamie Offenbach, bass, played Antonio.

Sopranos Solveig Kringlebotn and Inva Mula, who played as lively a Susanna as I have ever seen. Solveig is Scandinavian. Inva was born in Albania but now lives in Paris.

Richard Bernstein, Figaro, left, with Mr. Peter Hemmings, the General Director of the Los Angeles Opera.

Richard Bernstein again.
