La Renée will be singing in the lovely Tuscan town of Cortona for the 2010 Tuscan Sun Festival, which runs from July 20 - August 5. She'll be singing under the stars for August 3rd's Opera Gala in Piazza Signorelli as part of the festival's 8th season. Tickets go on sale in April.
We hope she gets there a bit early and enjoys the landscapes OC loves so much: the delicious Tuscan wines (Brunello di Montalcino, Morellino, and although OC isn't a Chianti girl, it's okay, we know it's good), Corys' restaurant Il RistoArte, the ghostly shell of L'Abbazia di San Galgano, Museo Diocesano for one of the most stunning paintings we've ever seen, Beato Angelico's Annunciazione (aka: what happens when God slips a roofie in your Hummus Martini), and maybe a night sleeping under a jesus cross at the 13th century former monastery Hotel Oasi Neumann.
