Hi Ms. Millo,
I had a question. I was looking at the MET Season Calendar for the 08-09 season and your name was in the Artist Roster. I been looking like crazy as to what opera you're going to be. I can't find it anywhere. Could you tell me perhaps because i would love to see you perform live. I've heard recordings and seen DVD's and you're someone that I would just love to see perform live. Thank you for your time Ms. Millo.

Cara Signora Millo,
mi chiamo Daniela Nuzzoli. Adoro la sua maniera di cantare, la musicalita', la sensibilita'... Purtroppo ho potuto ascoltarla solo in video o su disco. Mi farebbe tanto piacere sapere se verra' presto in Europa e in particolare in Italia. Inoltre vorrei sapere se tiene Masterclass in Europa o in USA.
La ringrazio per la sua grande arte che e' sempre una grande fonte d'ispirazione per qualsiasi cantante e musicista.
Con grande ammirazione,

Daniela

Hello Ms. Millo,

My name is Eileen Bates and I was told this morning in church by an opera lover that my voice sounded a little like his favorite Soprano of all time...you. I found this interesting and I set out on a research mission to hear your voice. I must say I was blown away by your amazing instrument!! You inspired me tonight to truly try to develop my voice to somehow come close to your sound in the future. In recent years I have turned my vocal training towards opera. A few years ago I started studying with Barbara Dever and to my surprise I read that you performed with her in 1994 at Pavorotti's Concert. I actually have a lesson scheduled with her this coming Tuesday and I can't wait to discuss this with her. I would be very interested and honored to open a line of communication with you. If you get a chance in your busy schedule or the desire to contact me please use my regular email address provided in the form.

I'm off to listen to more of your amazing voice on You Tube. I am really happy that the gentleman in church opened my eyes to your incredible talent. Eileen


04 December, 2007 | Marian Dessent
Dear Ms. Millo,
I listen to recordings of your magnificent voice nearly every day. My favorite of late is the "La Wally" that you performed with Eve Quelar.

Words cannot express how much joy your singing brings me. It has a particular quality, tone, and emotion that, for me, surpasses any other. Thank you for sharing your God-given talent.

Dear Madam,
I am very mooved to think that you will maybe read this message.
Dear gorgeous,devine artist,I am just a young french baritone from Paris, blushing of admiration and affection for the noble,magic, apollinian artist that you are. I had let a message under the Muzio video. To me you are a goddess sent to enlighten us and give us hope in what is I am afraid an age of darkness. You reign on the Olympe with Tebaldi,Ponselle,Raisa,Olivero,Litvinne,....
I think that young pupils can learn a lot through recordings. My favourite baritone is Mattia Battistini.
Very humbled and admirative,
Fabrice Bélanger
PS: Congratulations for your site and your blog.Might I dare to ask you how to get an autograph? Thank you.

Dear Miss Millo, I am a singer from Amazonas, Brazil and I´d love to know if you give masterclass to young singers somewhere in the wolrd?

I was so delighted to get the e-mail, and I was particularly pleased that the Great Millo remembered me from the Metropolitan gift shop. I would like to get something off my chet. I had said to the Great Millo after one of her performances that I'd be pleased to be in her "claque". At the time I was ignorant of what this terrm fully connoted. Please know that it's always a great priviledge to attend any performance given by the Great Millo at my own expense. I would even cross state lines for the priviledge. Meanwhile, thanks for streering me to that wonderful shop. I still wish a larger public could be made aware of the Great Millo's contribution as (from what I can see) a great lirico-spinto. This type of singing, the chiroscouro of Tebaldi, Gencer, L Price, and the Great Millo, is not highly prevalant today. We need to hear what training, what instincts go behing this type of singing, which to my ear is the most sacred in all opera. Mightn't the Great Millo write articles or even a book about her experiences? Wha was it likie to study with and to know the Great Tebaldi? What was it like to sing so many Verdi heroines around the world? We need to hear more and more from the Great Millo. Brava!


17 August, 2007 | Byron Loyd
Is it possible to record the great Millo in La Fanciulla and Zaza? Is it possible to reissue the 1986 recital? What about Verdi Heroines?


14 July, 2007 | marcus harrington welles
I am from atlanta georgia and was so thrilled to be in Paris for your Ballo performance. I have never heard you live till tonight. My friends were quickly converted to opera, their first Diva. You are greatly blessed, with a voice of stunning amplitude and color. May I say I think you record wonderfully but I like you live better. If you come to Atlanta Georgia, I will prove to be the first of your stage door Johnnies. !!!! What a voice and what charisma. Starstruck in Georgia, Marcus.


12 July, 2007 | Jean Claude Lobiere
You are fanatstic. I saw your astounding Amelia on Saturday last at the Bastille. Your voice was immense. Do you know how wonderful you are? The rest of the crew was a little undeer powered, and do not sing Verdi as it must. We haven't had a voice liike yours here in many years. Please come back to Paris, we need you. Fabulous artist. Such charisma. C'est magnifique!! jean claude


10 July, 2007 | Chrsitophe
Hello Aprile,
We flew yesterday - Monday July 9th- in the same plane from Paris. I hope you had a good end of trip and that you will rapidly recover your voice. Thanks again for the very nice discussion. It was an honor and a great pleasure!
Christophe


12 June, 2007 | Constantine
I listen to you every morning. It allows me to make sense of the world for about five minutes. You are very young and whatever is the reason you got heavy, please lose the little bit you need to. We need you so much. The "business" has changed. Please don't let me be too long without your glorious, Italian voice. I love you.

from greece with love


11 June, 2007 | david b.
Your Fanciulla was the greatest evening of my life. It was the last performance I took my partner to before he passed away, and you made his night that fabulous performance.
I can never thank you enough. Millo, you are great.


11 June, 2007 | Fabrizio
Sei divina! DIVINA!


11 June, 2007 | anna maria
From Brasil, you are the shining light in opera. Your concert here several years ago set the standard for anyone who followed. I can still here your beautiful singing even now. God bless you, and your great voice.




10 June, 2007 | giancarlo
You are simply the very best! We love you in Italy, and know you are the number voce verdiana. Please come back to your public who loves you. Bravisima!

Good afternoon,
I am a great lover and admirer of the great soprano Aprile Millo for years - actually since I heard her famous Aida!

Unfortunately I have just discovered that Aprile Millo will not sing the role of Tosca at the State Opera in Prague which I was looking forward to with great anticipation!

I wish Aprile Millo will get well soon and we will have a chance to see and hear here in Prague. I just love her and this is only a bad luck. But most important is she feel better soon!!!

I had a few photos, cd and dvd covers ready to be signed by Aprile Millo herself... Could I ask you for a favour? Would it be possible to receive a signed pictures of Aprile Millo with your help? I would be most thankful to you if you could send it to my address! Thank you very much for your time and efford!

APRILE MILLO, GET WELL SOON!!! WE LOVE YOU AND WISH TO SEE YOU HERE IN PRAGUE! YOUR´ RE JUST GREAT AND ONLY ONE!

Love Josef Vosmik

My address:
