​Serenades ​for Voice and Acoustic Guitar ​with ​Deborah Wai: CANCELLED

Operatic Cabaret at its finest... acclaimed soprano, Deborah Wai Kapohe returns to Aotearoa with a fresh look at the 19th-century practice of self-accompanying operatic arias with guitar - presented here in a cabaret format. Featuring arias by Bel Canto composers, songs from Broadway and well-known pop songs, this is a lunchtime programme of exquisite musical entertainment.

Programme:

Pokarekare Ana
Habanera from Bizet’s Carmen
Deh, vieni alla finestra from Mozart’s Don Giovanni (arranged by Fernando Sor for Guitar and Voice)
Come away with me by Norah Jones
La Serenata by Tosti
Starry, starry night from Don McLean’s Vincent
Medley from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Sound of Music
Dere’s a Café on the corner from Hammerstein/Bizet Carmen Jones
Hine e hine

N.B. Due to the lower dynamic level of the acoustic guitar, please come earlier to sit closer to the stage if that is helpful to you.
