Opera Nederland

Soprano Kris Ng had travelled to Zeist with Pianist Aaron Ormaza Vera. During the masterclasses she profiled herself like a sponge...all the suggestions that are thrown at her, she immediately absorbs, from extreme interpretations of Haydn's Pastoral Song to alternative interpretations of Ich habe in Penna . She had even brought a Dutch-language song by Henriëtte Bosmans. She therefore has all the necessary technical baggage to convert all that. Her Schubert interpretations of Mignon immediately moved with a beautiful diction, refined emotions and a pleasant Soprano. Also a singer to follow.
