Operagunstelinge III

With Magdalene Minnaar(soprano), William Berger(baritone), Chloe Loggerenberg (soprano), Ryan Hurst(baritone), Schalk Joubert(bass guitar), Elna van der Merwe(piano) and a double string quartet

This opera-inspired programme promises an evening of passion, drama and lyrical beauty. Works for soprano and baritone include “Granada” by Agustín Lara, together with beloved Puccini arias such as “Quando me’n vo’” and “O mio babbino caro” by Giacomo Puccini. Jules Massenet’s music intertwines with two dazzling violin solos inspired byLa Traviata, culminating in the timelessly poignant ‘Meditation’ from Thaïs.
