Aprile Millo (Photo: Johannes Ifkovits) Tosti, Donaudy, Donizetti, Bridge, Wolf-Ferrari, Verdi, Refice, Rachmaninoff, Massenet, Strauss; Aprile Millo, Inseon Lee, Jeffrey Carl, Merynda Adams; London Bel Canto Festival at Cadogan Hall Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 21 August 2018 Star rating: 3.5 (★★★½) A chance to hear Aprile Millo live in London, though she kept us waiting till the end for some real Verdi spinto styleThe soprano Aprile Millo is known very much for her Verdi performances, frequently at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. She has not, I believe, sung much in London (and never, apparently, at Covent Garden!) so it was something of a coup for the London Bel Canto Festival to be able to present Millo in her London recital debut at Cadogan Hall, with pianist Inseon Lee, harpist Merinda Adams and baritone Jeffrey Carl.

For once in your life you heard the final phrase of Bizet´s "Flower aria" from "Carmen" and the Verdian "Celeste Aida" as they are written, ascending to a pianissimo; but his Radames lacked no power. Then, Verista expression in "L´anima ho stanca" from Cilea´s "Adriana Lecouvreur"; a Refice song, "Ombra di nube". "Nessun dorma" from Puccini´s "Turandot", where the tenor showed the solidity of his means and the audience officiated admirably as choir in the fragment where Calaf doesn´t sing.
