VIARDOT200: Prima Donna, Composer, Muse and Inspiration

19 November 2021

Our lunchtime concert on 19th November was a taster for our next musical event, VIARDOT200, which takes place in Dorset on 2nd and 3rd April 2022.  

The performance was led by our new Artistic Director, Susanna Stranders, from the piano, with singers Claire Lees - Soprano, Katy Thomson - Soprano and Kieran Rayner - Baritone.  Susanna chose the programme of songs and piano pieces to illustrate the themes of Pauline Viardot as Diva, Composer, Muse and Inspiration. The programme proved a huge success with the music and voices pairing perfectly.


The concert allowed our subscribers to meet Susanna face to face. It also allowed to meet ‘Cameratina’ and to discover what we are achieving. Given our purpose to support opera recitals of the highest quality, in small spaces, and help young singers to gain experience, the concert certainly ticked all the boxes.


We were pleased that the photographer for the concert was Clive Barda OBE, doyen of opera photographers. It is his portraits of the performers that grace this article.


The opinion of all present was that the concert was a huge success and the best possible introduction to Pauline Viardot’s music.
