Friends of Co-Opera Performances 2009
Now in its fourth year the series of performances hosted by
The Friends of Co-opera has aimed to provide more professional
singing opportunities for young Adelaide singers and to provide
alternative, informal entertainment for opera afficionados
who look for more than the occasional mainstage performances
on offer in Adelaide. We think these objectives have been
met handsomely and uncovered another somewhat unexpected benefit.
There are many members of the community who have "experimented"
with a visit to a Co-Opera Friends concert not really being
sure if the genre would be to their liking only to become
intense devotees. Winning converts who are surprised at their
own love of opera is one of the true joys of those who spend
their lives devoted to the cause.

The enthusiastic response to this new series
in 2008 has demanded its continuation in 2009. We have stayed
with the 2009 formula of inviting one highly experienced and
distinguished artist, one successful former Co-Opera entertainer,
and one leading contemporary Co-Opera artist.
All sessions; 12 noon at the Public Schools Club, 207 East
Tce, Adelaide

Teresa La Rocca
will be squeezing this visit to Adelaide in the middle of
a season of The Magic Flute for Opera Australia in Sydney.
Friends will remember her remarkable performance as a last
minute "save the day" Susanna in The State Opera
of SA's 2008 season of The Marriage of Figaro. Teresa was
a principal soprano for Co-Opera throughout the '90s.

Ernst
Ens has sung with Co-Opera since 2003 when he served
as a chorus member. His development from that time has been
astonishing, culminating in 2008 with 38 performances of the
role of Alfredo in La Traviata and in 2009 as Tamino in The
Magic Flute in Australia and Europe. His skills as a professional
guitar player have frequently been put to good use in Co-Opera
productions as well.
