City Recital Hall Angel Place, Sydney

This Australian premier concert performance of Handel’s magnificent 18th Century masterpiece will be conducted by Maestro Richard Bonynge to raise funds for the Joan Sutherland & Richard Bonynge Opera Foundation. It will showcase some of Australia’s most talented singers including: rising star, soprano Valda Wilson fresh from singing in Dresden and the Salzburg Festival; Fiona Janes and Liane Keegan, two of Australia’s most internationally experienced mezzo sopranos; last year’s Bel Canto Award winner, tenor John Longmuir; popular soprano Lorina Gore and the acclaimed international baritone, Michael Lewis. The Sydney Lyric Orchestra will feature some of our finest orchestral musicians, including the highly enigmatic flautist, Jane Rutter and Sharolyn Kimmorley on harpsichord.
In a story of love, revenge, power and finding freedom, Rodelinda is filled with glorious arias and duets requiring singers of exceptional technical ability. For one concert performance only, this will be an historic evening for all lovers of great singing and great opera. Please see the attached flyer and book tickets through the following links. This will surely be the Handel event of the Year!
