"One season I was singing at the San Francisco Opera in two operas at the same time:
"Manon Lescaut" with Mirella Freni, and "Boris Godunov" with her husband Nicolai Ghiaurov.
One night for fun as Mirella snuck across the stage to get to her box seat to watch "Boris"
she and I did our "Manon" minuet just before the Boris curtain went up." ~ David G.
