Once again, it is a child prodigy who takes centrestage. From when he was a little boy who could barely reach the piano pedals, touring Europe to delight aristocracy with his music, to the time he grew to be a man-child who died young, nearly every opera house resounded to the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His notes continue to illumine the classical music arena after two centuries.
A Celebration of Opera, an evening of arias from French, German and Italian operas, performed by Chromatics, an ensemble of 15 singers, will open its concert hosted by Goethe Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan Chennai, with Mozart’s ‘Overture’ to the Marriage of Figaro. Accompanied by piano, strings and woodwinds, and directed by the renowned choral conductor and teacher Augustine Paul, Chromatics comprises young, talented and qualified singers.
