Claire de Sévigné: From Mozart to the Merry Widow pictures

Event actions

Claire de Sévigné: From Mozart to the Merry Widow description

Claire de Sévigné’s recent performances have been described as “remarkable in every way”. Similarly praised for conjuring “serenity incarnate” as well as for her “high-flown coloratura”, both sides of this extraordinary Canadian soprano will be showcased in this one-off recital, as she steps off the stage of our main opera Innocence. From operatic favourites by Handel and Mozart to heart-warming operetta, the concert’s centrepiece is the luminous The Shepherd on the Rock by Schubert, an extended feature for soprano, clarinet and piano.

Performed with Lloyd Van’t Hoff (clarinet), Michael Ierace (piano).
