Forget the marriage of Figaro, the perfect partnership this May is between Cardiff Central Library and the Wales International Academy of Voice.
Together both organisations are presenting Opera Unmasked at Cardiff Central Library on May 24 when for only £5 you can enjoy an operatic performance to remember.
The Wales International Academy of Voice exists as a centre of excellence, providing an opportunity for singers to prepare for the world stage. Their coaches, language experts and vocal technicians are complemented by visiting eminent conductors and international stars from the world of Opera.
Academy Director Dennis O’Neill, who will present the evening at the library, has enjoyed a long career as one of the world’s leading operatic tenors appearing for all the leading companies of the world.
Alongside Dennis the evening will feature performances from students from the Wales International Academy of Voice, which will be punctuated with explanations of the content.
Cabinet Member for Education and Lifelong Learning, Cllr Julia Magill, said:”Opera Unmasked will appeal to those who already have a love for Opera and for those who may not have discovered it.
“The event provides a perfect location for students of the Wales International Academy of Voice to showcase their performance and I am delighted that we are able to support and nurture such talent. Who knows, the future Katherine Jenkins and Bryn Terfel may be performing at Opera Unmasked.
“Central Library might not be the conventional place to hold an operatic performance but amongst all the great stories the performances will be right at home.”
Tickets cost £5 and customers are welcome to bring their own bottle of alcohol or there will be soft drinks on sale.
