“Music in May”
A summer evening at the castle, an introduction to the history of opera through selected solo arias, duets and even a quartet; this had the character of an idyll. It was a kaleidoscope of music through the ages.
We were introduced to stunning vocal technique, good stage presence, engagement with the audience and perfect accompaniment. It is always a thrill to see performers as they set out on their arduous journey. Furthermore, the next generation of opera goers were present , in the afternoon as schoolchildren were astonished by the power and wonder of the human musical voice.
Thank you
Anne Eyre
