Opera meets Qur'an

It is said that the Opera singer can express pure human emotion due to the range and dynamism of the human voice they can so readily manipulate.

Reverend Mirko Integlia, a theologian, will draw upon this touching artistic expression to convey what is already an emotional message to many from among the Christian community. Using the Opera, the Reverend will relay an emotional narrative in one of the most vivid and captivating ways, an Operatic style.

Almost a quarter of the world's population believes the Qur'an is the literal word of God. It deals with a range of topics from everyday charitable & pious living to a world of mysticism and beyond.

The reader is encouraged, however, to 'beautify' the voice when reading any of the verses contained in this timeless book. Captivating the audience by both the wondrous message and the raw beauty of the human voice relaying it, not overly dissimilar to the efforts of an Opera singer.

Local talent as well as world champion reciters from South Africa and Istanbul, representing two of the largest civilizations in human history, will come together on one stage to present what is sure to be a momentous, mystic and unifying experience. A night of melodious harmony, spiritual immersion, cultural bridge building, unanimity through diversity and more.

Please be at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music venue at-least 30 minutes before the event's start time.
