In the course of two days, I discussed the sorrow of women in romantic melodrama. I declaimed the texts together with Benedetta De Gasperis, while the director, Valeria Profeta Romano, provided piano accompaniment, and two sopranos took turns in interpretating some Arias. Salone Estense, Varese, 2000.
