To celebrate St. Valentine's Day, we present the list "Top 10 Musical Valentines", as selected by a poll conducted by La Scena Musicale amongst our contributors and on the web. Visit http://www.scena.org/lsm/sm6-5/valentin.html to see the list.
A Musical Valentine e-Card based on these selections is now available on the La Scena Musicale website.
