Morning Melodies: 25th anniversary year opens with NZ Opera

Morning Melodies at the Bruce Mason Centre celebrates 25 years this year, and what a way to kick off the season! On Monday 23 February, NZ Opera delighted a near full-house audience of 957 guests with the most beautiful and moving performances by Samoan tenor Ipu Laga’aia, bass-baritone Joel Amosa, and soprano Maia Amosa, accompanied by pianist David Kelly. Running from February to December, Morning Melodies is a North Shore institution that is well worth supporting, with season passes and individual show tickets available. Visit aucklandlive.co.nz/event/morning-melodies to find out more.
