Late Night Opera in a Piazza in Florence

A magical night in Firenze (Florence), Italy during my birthday trip 2 weeks ago. After dinner whilst cycling back to the hotel, we heard the distant sounds of opera coming from the Piazza della Republica. We discovered a young lady singing in the middle of the piazza.. it was simply beautiful.

ps If anyone can tell me the names of the two songs she sings (in this video and the other one), that would be much appreciated!

They are even more impressive in real life. I saw this same couple a few weeks ago and have regretted not picking up their cd. Does anyone have their names or a website?

[kazzart]

Yeh I regret not writing her name down too! I went over to look at the cd and what her name was, but I forgot her name soon after as I didn't write it down. Damn... If anyone knows I'd also appreciate it.

I found a woman who bought a CD from a singer in Florence that sounds like this opera singer. She copied down the info from the CD. Natalia responded to my email but I need to get it translated.

Anatoliy Grischuk and Natalia Lopushanskaya

"Firenze Sogna"

The CD also has this contact info on it.

[inexotah]

oh my dream! to go to Florence! When I go, certainly  I will listen to her singing! =)

What a amazing voice!

[traybroken]

God just listening to her sing anything makes me feel every little emotion possible...She is amazing truly and honestly.

The past two years, I've been traveling to Florence for a few weeks in the winter. We would go and listen to Natalia every single night we were there.

It just occurred to me for the first time to look her up on youtube and see if anyone took a video... and I'm so glad I did. I'm tearing up from watching her. I'm so happy to know that others have shared this wonderful experience with me.

Thank you so much for posting this.

We also tried, without success, to contact Natalia and Anatoliy via the email address on their Firenze Sogna CD. We enjoyed their performances so much--we saw them perform several different times during our stay in Florence--that we would like to buy some additional CDs to share with our family and friends. Could you also send us their updated email address? Thank you!

Her voice is like an angel. If you are still in Florence and happen to see her, can you find out how to purchase her CDs. It would be extremely appreciated.
