Music for Romantics - Presented by Operatunity Daytime Concert Series
Love has caused wars, duels, launched fleets, it has built and collapsed empires – a wonderful new show from the award
winning Daytime Concert Series will have all of this but luckily only in the form of song!
We present many different musical genres such as classics like A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square, Plaisir d’amour, Be
My Love, You Are My Heart’s Delight combining with Makin’ Whoopee, What a Wonderful World, As Time Goes By, as well as a
little Puccini added into the mix. The string trio will play some Mozart, Joplin, Borodin, as well as famous love themes
like the beautiful Deerhunter theme resulting in a wonderful mix of music with everyone’s favourites included!
Music for Romantics is proudly presented by Operatunity under its Daytime Concerts arm and this show will celebrate Love
in all its many forms, join them to laugh and cry and ohh and ahh your way through some of the best love songs of all
time. Three professional singers and string trio present these favourite songs, led by violinist extraordinaire Jessica
Hindin.
Jessica completed a performance violin degree at Auckland University, then travelled to Ireland and performed as part of
a traditional Irish stage show in Galway. Whilst there, she joined the international touring show “Barrage” based in
Alberta Canada. After almost five years of extensive touring encompassing five continents, she returned home to continue
her career. Recently she has performed in NZ with such artists as Harry Connick Jnr, Eileen Page, Boh Runger, Hayley
Westinra, and Tim Beverage. She has been involved with many TVNZ productions including 'Stars in Their Eyes' and 'To Sir
with Love' Howard Morrison Tribute.
With lovely singing and a stunning trio, this is a show with laughs as well as romance – even if you come by yourself
you will laugh and maybe even end up holding hands with yourself.
Operatunity Director Susan Boland says “This is a concert designed to celebrate the joy of love but don’t be put off as
it is not going to be all sickly sweet! It encompasses wonderful songs, luscious melodies but also the quirky and funny
songs about love as well. And if you are not in love this minute, you will enjoy our slightly irreverent concert without
needing to over-indulge in too much chocolate, ice-cream or drink on the journey home!”
