Oliver Sewell as Edgardo in Wellington Opera's Lucia di Lammermoor
Dame Malvina Major Award recipient Oliver Sewell will move to Germany in August to take up a position of principal tenor at Theater Bremen.
“In my first season I will be singing Robert Wilson in Doctor Atomic, Orpheus in Orpheus in the Underworld, Tito in La clemenza di Tito, and Narraboth in Salome. I am looking forward to the challenge musically and culturally.
“The Dame Malvina Major Award assisted me last year when I auditioned for this position in October. The award now makes it possible for me to relocate to Germany with relative ease – it allows me to take time off to learn German, prepare the new roles and for organising all the details for a relocation back overseas after three years in New Zealand!”
