JOINING FORCES TO PUSH THE LIMIT
Neval Chatelal and John Thomas have joined forces to
bring to you a revolution in the concert experience in
Trinidad and Tobago. For two nights, two of Trinidad’s
top tenors combine two classical traditions to give you
a concert of love, peace, and unity- Sangeet Opera: A
World Music Concert.
Sangeet means dance, music, and singing; opera tells
the story of our lives. To this end, the cast intends to take
you on a magical journey blending songs, movements,
and cultures from around the globe. Hear the prowess
of opera infused with the haunting strains of the sitar. Be
enchanted by the ragas sweetly blended with the sounds
of the steel drums. Be stirred by the tales of devotion as
told by hands and feet moving to the beats of our world,
by limbs seduced by the euphony of violin strings.
Sangeet Opera will feature the likes of the sultry Nalini
Ackal - famed local belly dancer, Indian dance and
choreography from Shaheed Ali and the Suryarmika
Dancers, animation from Kieron Sargent Dance Company,
the sounds of Soul Soprano Llettesha Sylvester flying in
from New York especially for the show, L.A. Rose of the
ever popular Ultimate Rejects, Kyle Richardson- local
musical theatre extraordinaire, Nikita Gastby – newly
discovered Lydian Singers soloist,    Eastern Chorale
soloists, including Maxine Greaves, Tanya Rawlinson,
Kiana Tinto, Brendan Prince and Noel Espinosa  and an
all-star string quartet of our nation’s finest string players
including David Frank, Nariba Herbert, Wasia Ward and
Inge Schuler flying in  from Cairo, Egypt.
The tenors advise that the show’s run time is one and
a half hours, with no intermission, much like concert
productions staged in Las Vegas and on Broadway. The
concert plays at Central Bank for two nights only on the
1st and 2nd of July at 7:30 pm and 5:15 pm consecutively.
Limited seating is available so be sure to book your seats
early.    For more information please feel free to visit us
