Friends of Music welcomes back Opera Angels, a unique musical duo based in South Africa, who will give a concert on July 30 at the Durban Jewish Centre.
Comprising of Dr Lisa Engelbrecht (soprano and pianist) and Lindsay Thomson (mezzo-soprano), Opera Angels create unique performances encompassing opera classics, sacred music, Broadway hits, and their own arrangements of some truly beautiful contemporary classics.
Engelbrecht is a renowned musician whose work has led her all over the world.

Opera Angels have brought their distinctive collaboration to a variety of great venues across South Africa, as well as on the high seas aboard the exclusive Queen Victoria. They are excited to share their love of music and song with audiences. Expect everything from intricate baroque pieces and rousing Mozart duets to songs from the stage and screen.
