Operatic treat
ACCOMPLISHED Ukrainian opera singer Oksana Mavrodii who now lives in Shetland with her family is to perform twice this week in the isles with pianist Silviya Mihaylova, from Bulgaria.
The concerts at Lerwick Town Hall on Friday 4 February and Busta House Hotel on Saturday 5 February will feature a varied programme of operatic arias and piano pieces which include Susanna’s aria from Le Nozze di Figaro, Margaritta’s aria from Faust and Consolation No. 3 by Liszt.
Oksana graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 2008 since when she has given recitals and performed in operas all over Europe.
Oksana and Silviya also perform for Live Music Now!, a charity that brings live music to those with limited access to conventional music-making, with concerts in Taing House, Symbister Hall and North Haven Care Centre.
Shetland Arts music development officer Bryan Peterson said: “Oksana and Silviya are both exceptionally gifted musicians and their performances are very moving. Audiences will be treated to a rich and varied programme of classic and popular works that showcase their talents.”
Tickets for Lerwick Town Hall and Busta House are £12/£8 and are available from Shetland Box Office on 01595 745555.
