452.0. "WHAT NO OPERA??" by 40206::CLIFFORD () Fri Mar 07 1997 20:34

    I will be in Roma the week of October 13 then on to Sorrento the next
    week.  I was hoping to catch an opera and was informed by the Travel
    agency representative in Italy that there were none at this time.  This
    surprised me - any comments?  
    
    I just finished reading Pavaroti's book My World and he is off for the
    summer months then back to work comes September which led me to believe
    that most performers would be back on stage performing.
    
    Any input will be apperciated,
    
    Grazie, Lucienne
