Blazing Autumn People's Concert (3)


  On Oct.6, the "Blazing Autumn People's Concert," a free concert, was held at the New National Theatre, Tokyo.
  The Alps choir also sang Mozart's "Turkish March,” in scat. They received thunderous applause from the audience when they shouted together and thrust their fists high in the air.
  Afterwards, Dr.Handa and Onuki took turns singing a pair of opera songs. The two sang "Tutto e tranquillo e placid" and "Pace, pace, mio dolce Tesoro," from Act IV of  "The Marriage of Figaro."
  Halfway through the performance, Coad discretely walked onto the stage to join them. Coad has performed in major opera houses around the world, including the U.K.'s Royal Opera House and Germany's Hamburg State Opera House. The entire theatre was rumbling when he sang "Udite, udite, o rustici"from Act I of "The Elixir of Love."
