Following his prize-winning appearance at Operalia 2024, hosted at the NCPA, acclaimed American tenor Angel Romero returns to Mumbai for an evening with the SOI Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Marco Alibrando, Principal Conductor at the Deutsches Nationaltheater und Staatskapelle Weimar and Music Director of VoceAllOpera.
Since his Operalia success, Romero has been named one of OperaWire's Top Ten Rising Stars of 2024 and has made acclaimed debuts with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Austin Opera and Central City Opera. Critics have praised his "beautifully crafted voice", "rare vocal elegance" and "the sheer beauty of a luminous tenor."
The evening opens with St. Paul’s Suite by Holst, written for the students of St Paul’s Girls’ School in Hammersmith, London, where Holst served as “Music Master” from 1905 to 1934. The orchestra will also perform Mendelssohn’s String Symphony No. 7, a remarkable symphony composed between the ages of 12 and 14, inspired by the Classical traditions of Joseph Haydn, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Angel Romero will perform beloved Italian vocal works by Gastaldon, Brogi, Di Lazzaro, Denza, Verdi, and Rossini, bringing the warmth, romance, and charm of the Italian vocal repertoire to Mumbai. Rich in lyricism and youthful energy, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of chamber orchestral and vocal music.
