Join 大象传媒 NOW and New Generation Artist Niamh O鈥橲ullivan for 鈥楢 Night at the Opera鈥� this September.
Firecracker conductor Nil Venditti will lead us in this gala of operatic favourites. From Bizet鈥檚 iconic and seductive Carmen, to Donizetti鈥檚 yearningly romantic O mio Fernando, journeying via Puccini鈥檚 dramatically passionate and soaring Preludio Sinfonico and Mascagni鈥檚 hymnal Intermezzo Cavalleria there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Similarly to character depiction in opera, a man equally skilled in his ability to depict characters through music is Elgar in his Enigma Variations, so what better to round off the evening. Light-hearted yet noble, these variations are an ingenious collection of musical sketches of his friends and an astute self-portrait; an enigma hidden within the score as each variation is tagged with the initials of the friends鈥� nicknames.
