Mozart’s Soprano The pure voice of a Swedish diva

Guest soloist, soprano Susanne Rydén (Sweden)

"Rydén's voice has luminous clarity and thrilling agility, negotiating the florid vocal lines with breathtaking facility."
The Independent on Sunday

Swedish soprano Susanne Rydén will thrill you with her Australian debut as she brings to life Mozart’s exquisite arias.

Hear Ryden’s pure and utterly irresistible voice in some of the most sublime works ever written for the soprano voice.

You will be enchanted by Exultate, jubilate, a perennial favourite with its sparkling final Alleluja and thrilling top C, and soothed by the gentle Ruhe sanft, mein holdes Leben, known to those who saw the movie Amadeus.

Rydén is then joined by Paul Dyer on his beloved fortepiano for an enchanting duet between instrument and voice in the beautiful aria Ch’io mi scordi di te?

A grand double orchestra symphony by Johann Christian Bach and the Australian premiere of Haydn’s overture to the opera La fedeltà premiata offer two wonderful instrumental interludes.

And after Mozart's effervescent Divertimento for strings, the finale with Rydén will be an absolute show-stopper as she reveals all her virtuosic power in Mozart’s Al destin che la minaccia. Get ready for a standing ovation!
