Check your local PBS listings this Wednesday, December 29, for a "Great Performances" concert of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and music director Gustavo Dudamel, recorded earlier at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The concert features Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez performing pieces by Rossini as well as a number of pieces by prominent Latin American composers. TV viewers will also hear Flórez perform two encores: “Ah! Mes Amis” from Donizetti’s The Daughter of the Regiment and “La Donna è Mobile” from Verdi’s Rigoletto. Actress Eva Mendes is the host for the evening.
