And the vocal concerts are few but woah.... If I were in Singapore I would not miss the Messiah on 9 November for its star-studded cast: John Nelson conducting with counter-tenor Lawrence Zazzo, tenor Richard Croft and bass-baritone Nathan Berg (no idea who soprano Mary Wilson is but she's praobably just as great).
Then there's the 5 April 2013 concert of Britten's War Requiem (aaaahhhhhh!!!!!) Its such a profound piece of music that really has to be heard live to experience its full fragmented impact. The concert also features coloratura tenor superstar Barry Banks (though I don't expect him to break into his trademark Rossinian trills during the concert). A certain Juliane Banse completes the season's vocal highlights on 25 Jan 2013 with Berlioz's Les nuits d'été followed by an encore of Abscheulicher! from Beethoven's Fidelio.
