Opera Night at the Russian Samovar

Yesterday, a few young people came to RS to taste our icy infused-vodkas on a hot summer night. They happened to be graduates of Julliard School of Music and began singing many world-famous opera arias. Our regular customers asked for more and more and couldn’t stop applauding. What a great night and just one of many special spontaneous performances at the restaurant. One of the singers, Irina Dubovoy, especially impressed the crowd when she sang a few of Calman’s melodies followed by Bizet's Carmen. They were all surprised that our pianist, Alexander Izbitser, knew all of the operas and sang together with them in the original languages of the arias.
