Juan Diego Florez has announced the birth of his baby girl Lucia Stella.
The Peruvian tenor announced the news via Facebook and stated, "We are blessed and forever grateful to have witnessed yet again the miracle of birth of our second little angel, Lucia Stella."
He continued, "She was born today, 1st of January, in the loving and calm atmosphere of our home in Pesaro, Italy."

He is also scheduled to perform the role of Tonio in Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" at the Royal Opera House and Don Ramiro in Rossini's "La Cenerentola" at the Metropolitan Opera House.
The tenor is also scheduled to return to La Scala for Rossini's "Le Comte Ory."
