The Holiday season can be a time of inactivity for many and it is a time to relax. This week most opera singers took time to celebrate and go on vacation. Some continued to sing and triumph while others took advantage of the European cities to sight see and explore a little.

Michael Fabiano

It was an eventful and star studded week for Michael Fabiano as he posted two pictures filled with opera stars. The first picture shows him with Latonia Moore, Jesus Garcia and James Valenti. And just a day ago, the tenor celebrated an early Christmas lunch with Nadine Sierra, Mathew Polenzani, and Jessica Pratt. That would sure make for an incredible evening at the opera.

Had a great Christmas lunch with @polenzanitenor @nadine.sierra and #JessicaPratt #gianlucamacheda #luciaperdonax2

Valentina Nafornita and Roberto Alagna

Both stars spent the week in rehearsals for a concert in Moscow. The rehearsal period was well documented by Alagna who posted four pictures from backstage while Nafornita showed off her beautiful gowns for the concert. There was even a video posted of the audience who enjoyed the concert. Nafornita did however, post a picture of her exploring Moscow on her time off.
