In March, a small group of senior students attended the New Zealand Opera’s performance of ‘Candide’ at the Auckland Town Hall. The visual spectacle of sumptuous costumes with dramatic lighting and set proved to be the perfect backdrop for the talent of the NZ Opera society. Gorgeous solos and duos filled the air from Coloratura Soprano to Tenor characters – and the whole performance ended with the Chorus, soloists and Orchestra en masse in the triumphant happy ending!
