Waverley Singers Opera Gala
In the first concert after their successful Jubilee year, the Waverley Singers will be joined by the RAE Symphony Orchestra in an opera gala concert which will take place on Saturday, October 18, at the Princes Hall, Aldershot.
The programme is made up of 21 items chosen from grand operas, and for this performance the soloists will be Teresa Cahill (soprano) and Brian Burrows (tenor). The first of eight solos these two well-known artists will sing have been selected from Mozart's Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro. They will complete their contribution to what promises to be a memorable evening with Che Gelida Manina, Mi Chiamano Mimi and the love duet from Puccini's La Bohème.
The choir's programme is equally well loved and includes the Bell Chorus (Pagliacci), the Toreador's Chorus (Carmen), the Easter Hymn (Cavalleria Rusticana), and the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves (Nabucco).
The trumpeters of the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall, will give an added touch of splendour to the Grand March and Finale to Act II of Verdi's Aida, with which the programme ends.
