It’s been some time since I’ve posted here … have been kept quite busy this year! Soon after Don Giovanni, I sang with the A Cappella Choir in La Divina Commedia, where we sang two a cappella pieces; Eric Whitacre’s Lux Arumque and Ola Gjeilo’s O Magnum Mysterium. This was part of a concert directed by Michelle Castelletti and held at the Robert Samut Hall in Floriana.
In April I then joined the pit-singers for Mamma Mia!, an FM Theatre production. We were under the music direction of Kris Spiteri with the musical being held at the MCC in Valletta.
In the following month I’ve interpreted O Tu Ch’innanzi Morte, a piece by Claudio Monteverdi from the opera l’Orfeo, in a Monteverdi Project concert titled Musical Adventures in Seconda Prattica. This concert was under the direction of Mro. Marco Mencoboni and held at the Malta Maritime Museum in Vittoriosa.
At the moment I’m rehearsing for the opera Aħna Refuġjati, a Valletta 2018 project, to be held on the 31st of August and the 2nd of September at The Granaries in Floriana. The opera has a libretto by Mario Philip Azzoppardi, who is also directing it, and music by Mario Sammut and Mro. Richard Merill Brown.
