It is my utter delight to be returning to Perth (my first soloist gig since before the pandemic!) to sing the iconic bass solos in Handel’s Messiah in December with the Perth Symphonic Chorus.
When I was a university student I used to sing in this Chorus (and the Collegium Musicum Chamber Choir) under Dr Margaret Pride – who was an important influence in my young career. To now be returning for this annual tradition as soloist (and my third Messiah for the month) will be very special.
All the more so because I will be back at His Majesty's Theatre (while the Perth Concert Hall is being renovated) which was my old home whilst singing with the West Australian Opera Chorus.
