Tonight on PBS at 8 pm is Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment. Natalie Dessay is of course the main draw, but when this performance happened, the story was the tenor Juan Florez nailing the high-C 9 times in a single aria. The crowd went nuts and he was called for the encore (the first encore at the Met since 1994!) and he nailed it 9 more times.
