Delos Diary

Congratulations to Heidi Grant Murphy!
She is a featured soloist in Mozart's Il Re Pastore, the New York Mostly Mozart Festival's first staged opera, working with the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra led by Nicholas McGegan. Performances are on August 12, 14 and 16. After appearances all over the USA with many orchestras as everybody's favorite soloist in the last movement of the Mahler 4th Symphony (DE 3261), it must be a welcome change for the "creamy-voiced" soprano to leave the angels behind and instead play Elisa, the sweetheart of the Shepherd King, Aminta.

P.s. Since August 14th was the evening of the big New York power outage, we presume that night's performance was cancelled, unless the brave singers went on illuminated by baroque candelabras.
