“He who sings frightens
away his ills”
- Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote
A journey
through the ages in the world of singing does not only stop at classics or
contemporaries.
The PSPA
Singers are proud to present such a performance together with three prominent singers from Thailand. The
PSPA choir members are from all walks of life and they will not be belting out
just songs but well known repertoires as well.
The
performance has an interesting programme. The first half of the show consists
of repertoires by Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart from his well-known operas : Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte.
These
comedic (buffa) operas reflect a lighter singing style instead of the
stereotypically dramatic and tragic styles. The character of Don Juan in Don
Giovanni portrays a fictional libertine (undesirable) and
seducer. The character of Don Alfonso in Così fan tutte (“Thus do all women”), was
considered by many as Mozart’s comedic gem, a cynical character faces a test of
faithfulness in love and romance. Although classified as a comic opera, it
blends in melodrama as well and was a revelation then in a rather uptight
society.
The
second half performance will consist of musicals through the ages from the
light to the serious. Amongst those includes songs from the 1959 musical, the
Sound of Music, with “My
Favourite Things, Edelweiss” and the epic romantic musical Les Misérables with “One Day More, Do You Hear The People
Sing”.
