“Music is a world within itself, it is a language we all understand.” — Stevie Wonder
Several members of the diplomatic, business and social circles gathered at the posh Caruso Ristorante Italiano, a fine dining restaurant that only serves authentic Italian cuisine in Makati City, as the restaurant’s untiring owner Emilio Mina hosted an exclusive dinner for famous Italian soprano Elena Monti.
The lovely and exceptionally talented singer, besides winning several competitions in Italy and internationally, also performed at the prestigious La Scala di Milano, which is regarded as one of the leading opera and ballet theaters in the world.
Guests were in for a delectable treat as they were served authentic Italian dishes especially prepared by Caruso’s expert chefs paired with the finest wine and champagne. It was truly a memorable night for all the guests as they enjoyed great food and music, with the congenial host even rendering a special song number much to everybody’s delight.
Congratulations, Emilio for organizing this wonderful event!
Only the best for Helen
