Enemy of the State
Kiwi soprano Madeleine Pierard sings excerpts from Shostakovich’s opera ‘Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk’. The programme includes the New Zealand premiere of Orchestra Wellington patron and composer John Psathas’ work ‘Next Planet’. The third work in the programme also has a Kiwi connection. The Glazunov’s Violin Concerto will utilise the considerable skills of New Zealand-born violinist Benjamin Baker.
