Immigrants to Aotearoa from the Pacific Islands in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s had all sorts of dreams for their families – but being an opera singer wasn’t one of them. Today, Pasefika opera voices are heard around the globe.
The O.Gs is a concert celebrating the first wave of Pasefika opera singers – a who's who of Pasefika opera. These virtuosos have sung all over the world, and are coming home to sing for you at this once in a lifetime event, accompanied by choir and orchestra.
Celebrate the triumphs and learn about the challenges faced by these pioneering wave makers as they take us on a journey from the music of their islands to Bellini, Mozart, Verdi, Strauss, Gershwin, Sondheim and more.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira
Shed 10 is next to the Queens Wharf ferry terminal, only a 5–10-minute walk from Britomart station. It’s easily accessible via the Southern Motorway, and parking is available at the Downtown car park or Britomart car park. There is a drop-off depot for taxis and rideshares directly across from the building.
Local tip He tīwhiri mō te rohe
Due to its industrial nature, Shed 10 can be more susceptible to the outside temperature than a contemporary building. Layers are a smart choice!
