Camilla Tilling soprano

Michalis Economou conductor

With performances in such legendary venues as Covent Garden and La Scala, soprano Camilla Tilling has established herself as a world-class opera singer. Possessing a “beguiling tone and unfailing musicality” (Gramophone, 2020), Tilling will mesmerize the audience with exquisite arias from Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and Cosi fan tutte, and the nostalgic Solveig’s song from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite.

Under the firm baton of the superb maestro Michalis Economou, the concert holds more enchanting musical gems that transport us to imaginative lands: from the dramatic intensity and tranquil beauty of Barber’s Adagio for strings, to Sibelius’ evocative lyricism in Pélleas et Mélisande, and Bizet’s serene depiction of the Provence landscapes in the Adagietto from L’ Arlésienne suite.
