We understand some of you may be seasoned Opera enthusiasts, but for those who are still on the fence about attending the event, here are 3 things to expect at Grand Opera Thailand’s Phantom of the Opera Highlights and Carmen Performances at the Vertigo TOO Lounge and why you need to go.
A World-Class Opera Performance
Good Opera performances are hard to come by, but great Opera performances are even harder to find. That is why when a team like Grand Opera Thailand puts on a show, you grasp at the opportunity. Having been founded in 2011 by internationally-renowned opera singer Stefan Paul Sanchez the organization has entertained crowds and filled venues all over Asia. The troupe are regular performers at exclusive embassy events, including Queen Elizabeth’s 85th birthday celebration at the British embassy, and later in 2017 are due to perform at the French Ambassador’s Residence for HRH Princess Sirindhorn. With a resume that exudes professionalism and talent, they are not to be missed.
A Location That Will Enhance Any Opera Experience
Known for their sublime bar experience, Vertigo TOO Lounge stands tall on the 60th floor of the Banyan Tree Bangkok Hotel. Normally a stylish spot where lush loungers and Bangkok stunning views cityscape awaits you, for the night on September 6th, 2017 the lounge will be turned into an Opera house that stands high above the clouds. Imagine any one of your favorite experiences, somehow the altitude and the views from such heights always seem to make those memorable moments even better. As the performers raise the roof with their powerful vocals high above the Bangkok skyline, this Opera experience will undoubtedly be one to remember for years to come.
