Opern- und Liederabend
for Soli and Piano with the
TRIO QUINTESSENZA
Victoria Kunze (Soprano)
Kai Preußker (Baritone)
Jorrit van den Ham (Piano)
Victoria Kunze and Kai Preußker, both professional opera singers with their extraordinary program, which consists of neither just songs nor pure opera. They dare to mix!
It is a versatile evening, semi-scenic, moving, and also humorously amusing. The performers Jorrit van den Ham, Victoria Kunze, and Kai Preußker will demonstrate how the stories of small songs and themes from major operas can be intertwined in one evening, how bittersweet the searching and finding of two lovers can be, and what it demands of them to wander through all emotional tides...
