Toi Toi Opera Masterclass with Patrick Power ONZM

Toi Toi Opera presents a masterclass with tenor Patrick Power ONZM and early career opera singers from Canterbury. Supported by The Piano Emerging Artist Fund.

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome our patron, Patrick, back to Ōtautahi Christchurch as part of Toi Toi Opera's 6th birthday celebrations, which include this very special opportunity for a public masterclass.

Six early-career opera singers from Waitaha Canterbury will have the opportunity to perform on the stage of The Philip Carter Family Concert Hall, accompanied by the immensely talented répétiteur Jeremy Woodside, and to receive feedback from one of Aotearoa's most successful opera singers and most insightful voice teachers.

We are delighted to announce that the young singers working with Patrick are sopranos Elizabeth Ellison, Emily-Jane Stockman, and Erin Connelly-Whyte, tenors Steven Moseley and Will Lynch, and bass William O'Brien.

We welcome students, teachers, and opera lovers alike to come and observe this very special afternoon.

We are deeply grateful to Patrick and Jeremy for contributing their time, and also to The Piano's Emerging Artist Fund for subsidising our venue cost, to allow these singers to learn under concert conditions.

Free entry, but registration is recommended to ensure your seat. A donation/koha to help cover the cost of this event is appreciated and can be made while registering.
