Advisory of GSO 20170219 Concert Program Change

We hereby regrettably announce to our audience that Soprano Ms. Sumi Jo has withdrawn from presenting the performance in Guangzhou due to unexpected force majeure, and therefore unable to attend the Commemoration Concert for the 40th Anniversary of Maria Callas’ Death taking place at the Xinghai Concert Hall at 20:00 on 19 February, 2017.

We are thrilled to invite renowned lyric coloratura soprano Ms. Huang Ying to join this Special Production concert. Ms. Huang Ying is the first Chinese vocalist to perform a major operatic role in an opera movie. Huang starred in The Magic Flute at the Metropolitan Opera, the first in the “Met HD Live” series, which was broadcasted live worldwide. A New York Times review praises her “bright tone” and “supple phrasing” and declares her “suited to Mozart.”

Please note the concert program update as the following:

Wagner
Overture to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

Handel
“Lascia ch’io pianga” from Rinaldo

Mozart
“Voi avete un cor Fedele” (K.217) from The Wedding
