On December 7th, a gala concert of stars from the Milan Opera;
the best opera voices of all Europe, and soloists from the famous
La Scala Theater took place at the Odessa National Opera and Ballet Theater.

Unforgettable impressions of true opera art were shown (and heard) by the best actors of the well-known Milan Theater: Georgio Giuzeppini - bass (Italy), Eteri Lamoris - soprano (Spain), Natali Nicole - mezzo-soprano (Austria), Guillermo Orozco Contreras - tenor (Spain), and Andreas Macco - bass (Germany); who were all under the direction of conductor Mats Liljefors (Sweden) of the Royal Baltic symphonic orchestra.

Opera stars have highly estimated the unique Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater, and without any doubt, the hospitality of the Londonskaya Hotel; having accommodated them,  prompted their promise to return in 2010.
