Luciano Marsalli, a ninth grader, has won honors in the Naple’s, Florida,  Music competition. He has been an opera singer for seven years and recently performed in the Music Club competition. “What I enjoy most about singing opera is the people I get to be with,” says Luciano. “I’ve gotten to meet so many nice, wonderful people and I get to work with them. All over the world I get to meet with them, talk to them, perform with them, do something I love with them and that is my very favorite thing about opera.” Luciano performed in the Music Club’s production of Pagliacci.
