Melrose resident Yuriko Nonaka Tauro, a soprano opera singer, gave a stellar performance before a sellout crowd at the Museum of Modern Renaissance in Somerville on Friday evening in An Evening at the Opera ~riflessi di sole~ Italian Art Song at the Break of the 20th Century.

It was an amazing evening for Yuriko, who was born in Japan and now resides in Melrose as a newlywed with her husband Ron.
