I was present at this free concert with my friend Jean-Luc Weil who taped it. Rina Gigli and family were there as well. Their entrance was filmed by the local TV station. The concert hall was filled to the rafters. At the end Martinucci was given Gigli's sword from Lohengrin as a token of gratitude by Rina Gigli.
