proudly present
OPERA I TIDEN
in Concert
Friday, June 4th, at 6.30 p.m.
We
are proud to present Opera i Tiden in
concert at The Norwegian Seamen’s Church in New York.
Listening to opera, one listens to the soul – and
it spellbinds most of us. Yet opera is one of life’s
very rare treats. The trio Opera i Tiden (‘Opera of
Today’) aims at giving their audience a grand musical
experience. With great passion and spirit and a touch of
humour they captivate their audience, and bring the listeners
to a close encounter of this music of the Great Stages.
They give the sounds of opera new life! At the concert there
will also be a world premiere of a new arrangement of Edvard
Greigs famous "Peer Gynt Suite" - a real taste
of Norway!
Opera
i Tiden consists of Bente Eggum Johannessen
[soprano], Hildegunn Coucheron [mezzosoprano],
and Emma Rowena [pianist].
Educated
at the State Academy of Opera (Statens Operahøgskole),
Norway, and the Norwegian Music Academy (Norges Musikkhøgskole),
and with experience from individual concerts and operatic
performances, the three musicians have created a unique
setting together, through which they contribute in opening
the eyes of the young and old to this grandiose music of
all times. Even those who thought they would never enjoy
opera, have been moved by the trio’s performance,
and have opened their hearts to it!
Dont
miss this exclusive opportunity to enjoy this playful and
sophisticated ensemble up close and in an intimate setting.
