Dresden itself is the scene for a more worthwhile gala, CLASSICS ON A SUMMER’S EVENING, with the Alagna-Gheorghiu double-act guesting m a programme of Verdi, Puccini and Bizet favourites conducted by Giuseppe Smopoli in the square outside the Semper Opera — it’s a pity that the sound is so flat, though.
