VOICES ACROSS THE WORLD
ROH2’S ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE RICH TRADITION AND RANGE OF VOCAL MUSIC ACROSS THE WORLD, CURATED BY ORLANDO GOUGH
Daytime TWELVE OF THE BEST (doors for daytime barbeque open at 1pm) PAUL HAMLYN HALL | 31 JULY, 2PM–6.30PM | £10 | £7 STUDENTS AND UNDER-16s Orlando has invited 12 of his favourite singers to perform at the Royal Opera House on one day.
In his own words:
Christian Zehnder a spectacular yodeller and throat-singer. John Tomlinson legendary opera singer with a seriously bass voice. Mikhail Karikis an eye-opening performer and ear-opening singer. Erika Stucky sounds more like Tom Waits than any other female singer I know of. Dessislava Stefanova sings like a Bulgarian, which she is. Enough said. Clare Wilkinson sings early music as if it were brand new. Manickam Yogeswaran a Tamil from Sri Lanka with a voice of pure honey. Phil Minton sings with a bravery verging on the heroic. Loré Lixenberg the most experimental opera singer I’ve ever come across. Eska Mtungwazi sings jazz-soul-hip-hop-folk-African music with a friskiness verging on the ecstatic. Talitha MacKenzie sings Gaelic music in a way that makes you understand Gaelic. Melanie Pappenheim has the voice of an angel and the sense of humour of a devil.
