Opera in the City with Simon O’Neill and friends will feature a beautiful programme of music performed by acclaimed tenor Simon O’Neill, soprano Natasha Wilson and baritone Edward Laurenson, who are all home because of current global events. New Zealand based mezzo soprano Kristin Darragh and pianist David Kelly complete this stellar lineup.

The programme has been curated by Simon himself and will include musical selections by Handel, Mozart, Gounod, Bernstein and Sondheim.

We’re delighted that we have been able to find a date to bring these wonderful artists to Christchurch, after such a great response to the Auckland concert.

Proceeds will be directed to fundraising for New Zealand Opera’s Voice Your Support campaign, currently focused on filming upcoming productions.
