For
two hours on Easter Sunday morning,
stalagtites and stalacmites resonated to
airs by Bach, Handel, Verdi, Haydn and
Mozart.
Residents
and visitors were impressed by the
originality and high standard of the
performance, under the direction of
conductor Daniel Bourget of Noumea. A six
person orchestral ensemble made the journey
from Auckland, New Zealand, as did the
soprano Fiona Ferens.
They
were accompanied by soprano Mireille Roth
Heitz and the Norsud choir from Noumea.
To
the delight of all, a children’s choir from
Vao village sang with the visitors.
