Nessun Dorma

Meet the Ladies…

Sara, soprano (the fiery red head) earned her Masters Degree with Departmental Distinction in Vocal Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Her operatic lead roles have included Gretel in Hansel and Gretel and Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro, and she has performed in many venues such as Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House and Painters Hall.

Cath, soprano (the sassy blond) recently completed her studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Her performances include Cinderella in Steven Sondheim’s Into the Woods and she has performed on the Palladium stage, at The Royal Albert Hall, The Palace Theatre and Westminster Abbey.

Ksynia, mezzo soprano (our statuesque brunette of short chestnut locks) is currently completing her Masters at the Royal Academy of Music. She has sung roles such as Cherubino, Hansel, Nancy, Dorabella and Carmen for a variety of companies including Raymond Gubbay, the Buxton Festival, Northern Chamber Opera and Philharmonia Voices in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican.

Lisa, mezzo (our petite brunette of luscious long curls) completed her Masters of Performance in Opera at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. She has sung as a soloist at the Tri-nations Rugby League, the Design Awards, and for audiences including the Australian Prime Minister at Angel Place Recital Hall in Sydney.

…But then if you are feeling a bit sorry for the ladies in the audience, perhaps missing Nessun Dorma, or just want to …add on a bit of surprise for sheer fun, the act can also appear ‘Hot Opera Plus” when half way through the performance appears the fifth ‘lady’ ….our not-so-punctual and always-looking-for-a-reason-to-dress-in-drag-tenor, Russell, whom will burst in mid-performance to add his lyric tones and adding some of the fantastic tenor repertoire to the show.
