UWC BA

UWC enjoyed special performances by Soprano Ana Sampedro, Tenor Fermín Prieto, and Pianist Pablo Manzanelli. They performed six songs including the ‘Nessun Dorma’ aria from “Turandot” by Giacomo Puccini and the ‘Libiamo’ toast from Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata.” For the toast, the singers mingled with the guests to clink champagne glasses and celebrate the occasion.

From the BUENOS AIRES TIMES 24/5/2025:
"Stories that caught our eye: May 17 to 24 . . .
UWC CELEBRATES IN STYLE
The University Women’s Club held an event for its 90th anniversary last Tuesday with former Buenos Aires Herald editor Robert Cox (possibly the only person present to predate the UWC) as a guest of honour. Guests were free to mingle and sustain or revive old friendships accompanied by first-class nibbles and a well-stocked bar but there were two speeches – by this year’s UWCBA president Amy Marshall and Lydia Barraza covering Public Affairs at the United States Embassy here – and an extended musical interlude with no less than six numbers. The Merry Widow (“Lippen Schweigen”) was followed by some Puccini - 2. ‘Quando me'n vo’ from La Boheme and the ultra-famous ‘Nessun dorma’ aria from Turandot – with ‘Con te partirò’ and ‘O Sole Mio’ leading up to the ‘Libiamo’ toast from Verdi’s La Traviata, the occasion for the singers to clink champagne glasses with the guests one by one. Ana Sampedro was the soprano and Fermín Prieto (especially vocal with ‘Nessun Dorma’) was the tenor with pianist Pablo Manzanelli substituting very competently for an orchestra."
