Tickets are on sale for the Rye Lawn Tennis Club annual opera concert which will be held at 7pm on Saturday, December 2 in the Old Gym at the Rye Creative Centre. The price per ticket is £50 which will include programme and drinks beforehand and in the interval. A great opportunity to treat someone to a unique Christmas gift perhaps?
To hear these artists perform in close proximity is a great experience – no microphones, just human voices supported by an excellent repetiteur. The programme will feature a variety of arias and ensembles and the event is only made possible by the generosity of donors, advertisers and others who have all made contributions in order to make it all happen.
Rye Lawn Tennis Club has community amateur sports club status, which means it is open to all to join and the club needs help to continue to provide excellent and improving facilities for local people. Any profits made will go towards the tennis club’s funds.
For this exceptional concert, Siri Fischer Hansen has kindly enlisted the following current and ex-Royal Opera House Jette Parker singers who will be performing.
Alexandra Lowe – Spanish born British soprano
Stephanie Wake-Edwards English mezzo (who represented England in the 2021 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition)
Thando Mjandana – South African tenor
Grisha Martirosyan – Armenian baritone
The programme will be arranged by Ollie Gooch, the popular conductor, pianist and repetiteur who also trained at the Royal Opera House and which will have something in it to suit all tastes.
