Encore Moment: Miriam Allan and Hanna Fraser in Women of the Pietà

Allegro, e con spirito: Dominus a dextris tuis from Dixit Dominus (1774) by Baldassare Galuppi, performed by soprano Miriam Allan and mezzo-soprano Hannah Fraser, closed Pinchgut Opera’s sublime September 2022 concert season of Women of the Pietà.

The concert Women of the Pietà by Vivaldi features one of Pinchgut’s dearest friends: longtime audience favourite, soprano Miriam Allan, who most recently drew international acclaim after her stellar performance at Prince Phillip’s funeral in London in 2021, alongside a crack ensemble of singers and player to re-create the splendour and sound of the music performed by the women and girls at Vivaldi’s Ospedale della Pietà, the renowned home for orphaned girls in Venice where Vivaldi was master of the violin.

The full concert of Women of the Pietà, recorded live at City Recital Hall, Sydney, is available to stream for free on Pinchgut Opera website free.
