Pegasus Opera Company Highlights

The evening will be hosted by the esteemed Trinidadian tenor, Ronald Samm, fresh from his acclaimed performance in English National Opera's Blue. Joining Ronald Samm will be the winner of the prestigious Sir Willard White Trophy grand prize of the Voice of Black Opera competition, Rachel Duckett, a remarkable Jamaican and British coloratura soprano. The lineup also includes award-winning Soprano Donna Bateman, vivacious Mezzo soprano Felicity Buckland and talented Masimba Ushe. Audiences will be treated to an extraordinary array of music, encompassing gospel, spirituals, opera, musical theatre, and traditional Caribbean songs such as "Murdah in di market," "Linstead Market," and "Long Time Gyal/ Come let me hold your hand!" Additionally, the performance will include excerpts from Pegasus Opera's highly anticipated Windrush opera, a brand new composition by Edson Burton MBE and Des Oliver, inspired by the remarkable stories of the Windrush generation.
