Goats from Tibet, swans, turkeys, lions, dolphins ... all kinds of animals visit us in this program devised by the baritone Christopher Maltman and the pianist Malcolm Martineau that they presented at the Life Victoria last November 2018. Two of the most expected debuts at the Festival united in this recital: the English baritone dominates the Lied with the same ease as the opera, being a regular both at the Salzburg Festival, the Royal Opera House or the Metropolitan Opera House as well as the Wigmore Hall or the Oxford Lieder. He sang at Life with his regular pianist, Malcolm Martineau, who also accompanies artists such as Susan Graham, Anna Netrebko or Thomas Hampson, being considered one of the most prolific of his generation.
