Our ever-popular annual concert came perfectly in time – at the first weekend following the end of lockdown! Once again it featured HGO stars in a heartfelt celebration of opera favourites, with arias and ensembles by, amongst others, Monteverdi, Handel, Gluck, Bellini, Borodin, Verdi, and Puccini, and ending with Johann Strauss’s rollicking Champagne ensemble from Fledermaus.
Our singers were stars from our recent and forthcoming productions:
Rusnė Tušlaitė, soprano (Figaro, 2021)
Francis Gush, counter-tenor (Partenope, 2018)
Jack Roberts, tenor (Sāvitri, 2019)
Dan D’Souza, baritone (The Secret Marriage, 2018 and Sāvitri, 2020)
At the Steinway was our concert director Hannah Quinn
(conductor of our 2017 The Enchanted Pig)
