Last Friday, I covered an Italian Culture Night fundraiser hosted by Cristina Fontanelli.  The event was held at The National Arts Club which is located at 15 Gramercy Park South.  Ms. Fontanelli is a host for PBS-TV and  an award winning singer who has often been compared to the legendary Maria Callas. Ms. Fontanelli  has traveled the world delighting audiences and besides all those Romance languages that she can sing in,  yes also sings in Japanese.

So here’s the lovely room where the fundraiser took place…

Here’s the food(So Yum) but I’ve got my eyes on dessert. Lol

Here is a photo of Ms. Fontanelli getting ready to delight up in her own operatic PBS special—all songs sung in Italian. Bravo!

In addition to hosting this fundraiser, Ms Fontanelli also announced that  on December 9th at 8:00 pm and December 10th at 4 pm she will be producing her 14th annual Christmas in Italy at Symphony Space which is located at 95th Street and Broadway.  So  call the Box Office at 212 864-5400. You don’t want to miss this event which New York Epoch Times has called “A feast for the eyes as well as the ear…immensely theatrical.
