Voices of Bangalore – Queens, flowers and death
June 19, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Queens, flowers and death – opera classics performed by Lena Moén (soprano) and Maria Forsström (mezzo-soprano).
Come and get transported to the world of Mozart, Puccini, Rossini and other magnificent composers. Dramatic arias and duets from some of the most beloved operas – love, hate, passion, longing and death! Life itself encapsulated in music!
Our opera queens will be accompanied on the grand piano by our own maestra Rebecca Thomas Colaco.
