Toiere
Ka ōrua mai te waiata opera, te reo Māori me ngā reo waitī i tēnei konohete e waiatahia ai ngā kura waiata e nui ana te paingia.
Experience the magic of Toiere - a breathtaking musical journey that transcends tradition and language.
Following its acclaimed debut at the Auckland Arts Festival, Toiere comes to Nelson, bringing a powerful fusion of cultures and sound. This extraordinary concert reimagines iconic operatic masterpieces through a unique blend of original languages and te reo Māori, transforming familiar arias into a new, deeply affecting experience that could only come from Aotearoa.
Beloved waiata Māori are seamlessly interwoven with timeless operatic works, creating a rich, resonant tapestry of music that celebrates both heritage and innovation. The result is a captivating performance where sublime vocal artistry meets the profound beauty and depth of te reo Māori.
Toiere is more than a concert, it’s an unforgettable cultural experience that will stir the soul and leave a lasting impression.
New Zealand Opera acknowledges Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival for their commitment to upholding Te Reo Māori through the development of this work, enabling the kaupapa to be shared with communities across the motu.
Mā Toiere koe e kawe ki ngā rangi o puoro hei taonga pūmau ki tō pūmahara, ā haere ake nei.
