The pride of Curaçao as Cleopatra in Amsterdam.
The flamboyant mezzo-soprano Tania Kross has for years been the musical face of the Caribbean island of Curaçao. Today she sings of the death of the no less flamboyant Egyptian queen Cleopatra, to the brilliant music of Berlioz. We can expect a dazzling performance in an arrangement by Thomas Beijer, accompanied by the Grammy-winning LUDWIG.
Beijer has also arranged Rachmaninoff’s symphonic poem The Isle of the Dead specially for the occasion, but that is really all we know about it so far.
The rest of the programme on Saturday 29 September is still a secret – even the musicians have no idea.
