bias on this duet. This is one of my favorite pieces by Mozart and I think that both
singers interpreted it very well. I love their harmonies as well as the beautiful
contrast of both their voices. I think their vocal timbre fit the song very well.
My duet with Manlangit came after. We performed Ah guarda sorella from Cosi fan
Tutte. To be honest this was my biggest tiger of the night and I was really nervous
singing this piece. I thought that we made the best out of what we can do with the
song although I hope there could be another chance next time to redeem ourselves.
After this came the Magic Flute trio. I just adore this number! Gereberne Lozada,
Jane Wee and Teresa Melcio had great chemistry performing together. Their
wonderful voices are already a given but what made the performance really
memorable was their choreography and stage presence which I think the audience
enjoyed.
The second to the last piece was a duet from Bastien und Bastienne. Honestly, I am
really not a big fan of this piece. Its really included in my list of favorites from the
Mozart repertoire so I dont really know what to comment. Ill just say that Leonard
Lim and Leana Gantioqui did a pretty decent job singing the duet. They couldve
worked more on their characterization but who knows, maybe theyre not big fans of
the piece as well.
Lozada, Wee, Chua, Lim and I closed the concert with the quintet from The Magic
Flute. Since this was the last number I think the five us were warmed up enough to
sing through the piece with energy and zest. Although we have had better
performances during rehearsals, Im sure all five us enjoyed singing the quintet.
This concert was really a lot of fun and I really look forward to more performances
with my fellow singers at the conservatory.
