An Evening at The Opera
View(s):Menaka Singers’ Opera Ensemble (MSOE), the premier opera ensemble in Sri Lanka in collaboration with Barbara Segal Opera will once again enthrall audiences in Colombo at the Lionel Wendt Theatre on Friday 23rd June 2017 at 7.30 pm.
Following several sell-out performances last year and a triumphant dinner-theatre at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle earlier this month, the MSOE will present another evening of spectacular opera arias and ensembles by Mozart, Donizetti, Gounod, Bizet, Puccini and Verdi.
The concert will be directed by British opera star Barbara Segal and Menaka De Fonseka Sahabandu the founder of MSOE who will also collaborate on Piano.
The unique feature of the ensemble’s performances is that each aria is introduced by Barbara with a short synopsis of the opera from which it is taken, and the context in which it is sung.
