This August, Singapore Lyric Opera (SLO) presents Gala
Concert, which will see the debut of two Asian singers who have made it to opera houses in
Europe and America.
Local conductor, Joshua Kangming Tan returns to lead the Singapore Lyric Opera Orchestra
at this concert. Comprising virtuosic pieces, this performance promises to enchant the
audience with various celebrated opera excerpts such as Faust’s The Jewel Song, Lehár’s
Vilja Lied, Puccini’s La Bohème, Lehár’s The Merry Widow and Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto,
to name a few.
The two Asian singers who will be making their Singapore debut are British Sri-Lankan
soprano Kishani Jayasinghe who is based in United Kingdom, and Filipino-American tenor
Arthur Espiritu from the US/Philippines.
Kishani, a Young Artist from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, who has performed for
His Royal Highness, Prince Charles’ at his 60th birthday celebrations at Buckingham Palace
and Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II as a Commonwealth Arts Representative, is excited
about singing in Singapore.
Also making his Singapore debut is tenor Arthur Espiritu, who has performed in numerous
concerts worldwide. Joining both Kishani and Arthur are revered local opera singers, mezzosoprano
Anna Koor, who is widely known for her rich and mellow timbre, and baritone
William Lim, a New York ‘Silver Rose’ award recipient.
