About
Divina is an opera singing trio for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Three voices, opera repertoire, and arrangements written for this group rather than lifted from a score. Divina take the Habanera from Carmen, O Mio Babbino Caro, the Flower Duet from Lakme, the Letter Duet from Figaro, Brindisi from La Traviata, plus The Prayer, Nella Fantasia, O Sole Mio and Time to Say Goodbye. The name nods to Maria Callas. Sets run from three songs or 20 minutes up to two 40 minute halves or a straight hour, and a tenor can be added for the classic pairing. They perform to backing track unless you arrange otherwise, and need three wireless mics, stands, amplification, fold back and a sound operator. Public liability covered.
Watch
The show
Three voices and no orchestra pit. Divina take the best known moments from opera, the arias, the duets and the big trios, and perform them in arrangements written specifically for this group rather than lifted straight off a score. Carmen, La Traviata and The Magic Flute all get a look in. It suits a room where you want people to stop talking and listen for a while, which not many acts can manage.
On the day
Three wireless microphones with stands, amplification and fold back so they can hear each other, and a sound operator to run it. They perform to a backing track unless you've arranged something different in advance.
Performance options
Sets come in several lengths, so the music can be a moment in the evening or the evening itself. Three songs works as a single feature. Beyond that there's a 20 minute set, two sets of 20, two sets of 40 or a straight hour. A tenor can be added to the trio for the classic pairing if you want that sound.
