Rave reviews in the Italian press for divinelycious Mariella Devia: her Il Pirata in Ancona -- stage direction by the always interesting Pier'Alli -- seems to be really, really cool and overflowing with tasty Bellini goodness. She will always be our Lucia, we love love love her Fille, and she also has Imogene down. Hopefully, she'll get a blog soon so Opera Chic can retire in sunny Provence, dozing in the shade of a beautiful pear tree, dreaming in the colors of Pierre-Auguste Renoir while blasting at eardrum-perforating volume some bada$$ DMX rapping on her McIntosh vintage sound system. Sound system that she has and that, as always, you don't.
