Performer: Freemasons New Zealand Opera Chorus

Lindy Hume directs a new production of Mozart's masterpiece which proves a constant delight.

Giordano Bellincampi presides over a fleet and crisp performance of Beethoven's only opera, performed in Auckland Town Hall. 

It was hard not to be drawn in by the romance and tragedy as presented by such a sincere, credible and vocally talented young cast and a conductor with such strong identification with the idiom.
