OPERATUNITY

It was the Operatunity Concert again today.  There are eight concerts a year and they  take place at 11 a.m. so it is aimed at the senior members of our society.  I was looking for a friend but looking for a lady with grey hair in what I estimated to be about 1,000 people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Anyway, the Concert was as good as the other ones we have been to.  This one was the Three Tenors - the singers are all part of the Operatunity group.  We had items including You are Love, Girls were made to Love and Kiss, Granada, Besame Mucho, Mambo Italiano, This is the Moment and Hallelujah.  There was also a soprano, the lady who, with her husband, started the company.  In spite of its size it is almost like a family and, in the middle of the concert, they stopped and sang Happy Birthday to a lady who has been to most of the concerts and is shortly to turn 100.

They are all great entertainers as well as singers and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

OPERATUNITY

Last month we went to an Operatunity Concert for the first time.  We returned today for their Iconic Kiwis Concert.  These are daytime concerts designed for the "older generation" and are a lot of fun.  One of the artists today was Marian Burns and one of the tunes she played was Orange Blossom.  I couldn't find a video of her playing solo so this will have to do.

Another song was Blue smoke.  

The whole show was varied and thoroughly entertaining.
