Recital

PLEASE NOTE THAT MAURO PETER IS NOT WELL ENOUGH TO SING
LOUISE ALDER & JOSEPH MIDDLETON will now perform the programme "Young Lovers", set out lower down on this page!

Oper Frankfurt was the perfect springboard for Alder’s great international career. While a member of the Ensemble (2014-2019) this British soprano sang roles including Gilda (Rigoletto), Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Atalanta (Xerxes) and Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare in Egitto). She looks back on those years, during which she felt like a member of a family, with gratitude. Now she performs all over the world at places including the Vienna State Opera, Covent Garden, the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich and Glyndebourne.

12 Gedichte von Emily Dickinson   
Nature the gentlest Mother 
There came a wind like a bugle
Why do they shut me out of Heaven?
The world feels dusty 
Heart we will forget him
Dear March, come in!
Sleep is supposed to be
When they come back
I felt a funeral in my brain
I’ve heard an organ talk sometimes
Going to Heaven! 
The Chariot
