Chorus fest returns, expanded
The sessions, led by conductor Brent Stewart, will be held July 12 and 13, from 1.30pm-5.30pm, at Hanover Hall.
Building on what was achieved last year and the feedback received, Opera Otago has extended the ChorusFest to two afternoons.
It is not necessary to attend both sessions, although that is preferred.
A movement will be added to one of the choruses, with Emma Donaldson set to lead.
The singers will be accompanied by pianists Tom McGrath and Ozan Biner-McGrath.
Opera Otago always aims to support young Dunedin singers, and this year's ChorusFest will introduce Ripeka Potiki, who won the Opera Otago cup at last year's Junior Vocal Festival.
Other soloists will include sopranos Ameera Woods and Erin Connelly-White and baritone Kieran Kelly.
As with last year, there will be a short, informal concert from 7pm on Sunday, July 13.
Opera Otago will provide a light meal of soups and buns for participants before the concert. To enrol follow the link https://events.humanitix.com/opera-otago-s-chorusfest-2025

Mixing opera and politics
This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. Poster for the Wellington Opera production of Verdi's "A Masked Ball". Photo: Wellington Opera Verdi had to jump through a lot of hoops to stage his opera, "A Masked Ball". The idea seemed operatic enough. The intrigue surrounding the assassination of the 18th-century monarch King Gustavo III of Sweden, but the 19th-century censors had other ideas. To have someone shooting a royal just wouldn't do. They forced Verdi to set the opera in Boston in the USA, where there were no kings or queens to assassinate. Next month, Wellington Opera will stage the original uncensored version of "A Masked Ball" with Jared Holt playing King Gustavo and soprano Madeleine Pierard taking on the lead female role, Amelia. Pierard and conductor Brian Castles-Onion spoke to RNZ Concert's Bryan Crump ahead of a three-performance season at the Wellington Opera House starting on 6 August. It's still a rarely staged opera, not because of its politics, but because it's long. Not Wagner long, but still taking three acts with two intervals. Australian conductor, Brian Castles-Onion Photo: Wellington Opera Castles-Onion, however, thinks it's one of Verdi's best. And he thinks Pierard is one of the best-qualified sopranos to take on the lead role of Amelia; a married woman who has fallen for King Gustavo who, unfortunately for her, is not the man she's married to. It's the second year in a row that Pierard and Castles-Onion have featured in Wellington Opera Company productions. Last year Pierard played the title role in Tosca, while Castles-Onion directed Orchestra Wellington in the pit. The company has established a reputation for high-quality productions made without any support from the Government arts funding body, Creative New Zealand. Castles-Onion says he loves the vibe at Wellington Opera. The Australian-based maestro certainly loves conducting opera, with hundreds of performances to his name. He prefers the orchestra pit to the concert hall podium because he loves the human voice. Madeleine Pierard Photo: Robert Cato Pierard prefers the stage to the concert hall because of her love of acting. For her, the challenge as a singer who is a good actor is to keep the body from getting in the way of her singing - given the acting and the music come from the same place. A good singer doesn't have to contort their body to get the message across, she says. Let the voice flow and the music will bring out the drama.

Editorial: A stadium half-full or half-empty?
Somewhere between the over-optimism of some and the pessimism of others lies the truth about the future viability of Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium. Next month it will be 14 years since then prime minister John Key opened the $224 million stadium, just a month before the start of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. That the stadium was ever built was, in some ways, a miracle. There were many concerns raised at the time about the realities of such a project, including the economics of constructing such a large venue so distant from the country's larger population centres where big overseas sporting and musical acts are typically held. The stadium debate was acrimonious and divisive, leading to court cases and much bitterness among residents. Even when it eventually opened, and despite the hoopla, the events were slow to come. A memorably windy Elton John concert in November 2011 was the first to be held under its draughty roof. But in one of those bizarre twists of fate, the Christchurch earthquake of February that year wrecked Jade Stadium and kick-started a slowly growing momentum which would act in Dunedin's favour for more than a decade. With Christchurch off the grid as far as major events were concerned — not only because of a lack of a major venue but also because of accommodation, hospitality and other logistical problems — Forsyth Barr Stadium could flourish. And flourish the Dunedin stadium has. It held several 2011 Rugby World Cup games which the quake-damaged Christchurch was unable to run. It is the home ground for the Highlanders and Otago rugby teams and has hosted test matches and Rugby World Cup games. It has also been a venue for rugby league fixtures and for the 2015 Fifa Under-20 World Cup. International acts have performed at the stadium and transformed the city, including Pink, Kendrick Lamar, Shania Twain, Robbie Williams, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond, even Black Sabbath. Oh, and don't forget Ed Sheeran. How could we. Of all the concerts held at the stadium, the Sheeran performancers of Easter 2018 were highlights, generating an estimated $38m for the city's economy from the more than 65,000 visitors. Unfortunately, Sheeran will not be performing in Dunedin when he returns to New Zealand in January, opting instead for Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, where he is expected to be the last act at the temporary stadium before the city's new venue, Te Kaha, opens. Some people have taken to calling this a snub. In some ways that view is understandable. After all, Sheeran's visit seven years ago was a huge high spot for Dunedin and the South. Sheeran became "one of ours". The mural in Bath St remains for all to see, long after the performances have drifted off into the ether. To suggest a deliberate rejection of the stadium and the city by Sheeran, though, is an overreaction, although there have been suggestions he wasn't happy with the sound system. What this does do, however, is sharpen minds to consider what life may be like for Forsyth Barr once the Christchurch stadium is up and running. A large shadow seems to be looming just over the shoulder. There can be little doubt that Christchurch's Te Kaha poses a significant threat to the Dunedin stadium. It will have several major advantages. Firstly, it will be 15 years newer and will benefit from the novelty aspect of that and of Christchurch's new and vibrant inner-city hospitality. Secondly, Christchurch is a much larger city than Dunedin — with a population around 420,000 it is more than three times as big — and, thirdly, it has a major international airport with direct flights from Australia, Southeast Asia and North America. Those are selling points which any promoter and artist will find hard to look past. Tougher times certainly lie ahead for Dunedin's stadium and for when it comes to easy access to international acts and sporting fixtures for people in the South. However, we should not wallow in southern doom and gloom. Dunedin will continue to attract events and there remain plenty of other wonderful reasons to come and share our heritage, wildlife and culture.
