She's been mentored by none other than Marilyn Horne and has just had a huge success as Lucretia in Benjamin Britten's "The Rape of Lucretia" with the San Francisco Opera's Merola Programme.<br />
<br />
<b>BRENDAN COLLINS</b> has returned from making his debut in a solo role both at the world-famous<br />
Glyndebourne Festival in East Sussex and the BBC Proms in London's Royal Festival Hall. Brendan is a big favourite with Glasthule audiences who have enjoyed his portrayals here of the major baritone roles - Mozart's Figaro, Toreador (Carmen) Pere Germont (La Traviata) and Marcello (La Boheme)<br />
<br />
Terrific rehearsal with the orchestra yesterday - <b>EOIN HYNES </b> singing of "Il mio Tesoro"is just beautiful and as for "You are my Heart's Delight"...........there won't be a dry eye in the house!!<br />
And I can just imagine the audience joining in with <b>SARAH POWER </b>( on a flying visit from her rehearsals with Scottish Opera in Glasgow ) and <b>BRENDAN </b>as they pour out the nostalgia with the "Merry Widow Waltz".<br />
<br />
The lucky people with tickets are in for a real operatic treat.
