Recently, there was classical music at ProCurand again. Havelpalais retirement home. This time, the Ruggieri couple performed, delighting the residents of supported living with singing and dancing. Giancarlo is a professional tenor whose repertoire encompasses all roles of Italian and French bel canto, whether Alfredo in „Traviata“, Radames in „Aida“ or Don José in „Carmen“. Sonia studied classical dance and had a career with the ballet at the North Bohemian Theatre Ústí nad Labem. She danced roles in Swan Lake, Giselle, and Coppelia.

The establishment's cafeteria was well-filled. The senior residents listened intently to the singer's beautiful voice and admired the graceful dance performances of the ballet dancer, which were perfectly coordinated with the music. The artist couple presented classic arias from opera and operetta, as well as well-known film and musical melodies, such as „New York, New York“ or „Singing In The Rain“. They rightly received a great deal of applause, and one or another resident moved to the rhythm and clapped along.
Everyone agreed: Sonia and Giancarlo must come back!
