The audience will hear Sandile’s smooth lyric tenor sing beautiful songs and arias, accompanied by the piano, composed by early masters of opera and members of the Florentine Camerata. This group came together to innovate the ‘musical theatre’ of their time.
Their innovations led to the development of opera. Some of their innovations are still used and heard in opera today. The songs and arias capture the joys of new love and the pain when that love ends. Some of the songs mention names of the lovers.
This heightens the intensity of the emotions in the music.
The audience will be transported back in time and experience the full emotions of the songs, only to realise that they have also felt these emotions.
The idea to present these songs and arias came to Sandile after a music lesson when a student had sung one of the pieces.
