Handel's Messiah with NZSO in Wellington

I've really enjoyed the last few days’ rehearsal in windy Wellington in preparation for my second Messiah of the week. It’s been great working with soloists Anna Leese, James Egglestone & Teddy Tahu Rhodes, and especially reconnecting and working with conductor Richard Gill, for whom I first sang for as a student at the Conservatorium High School, and who encouraged me to pursue a career as a countertenor. 

We had a full house and both the NZSO and The Orpheus Choir were in fine form which the audience acknowledged with rapturous applause at the end of the evening. Thanks for being a great host New Zealand! Happy Christmas and I hope to come back soon! 

Here I am back stage after the show with the other soloists and below with my friend and colleague Erin Helyard who was playing the harpsichord!
