Internationally Renowned Countertenor Sings at New Norcia
New Norcia’s reputation as a center for musical and artistic beauty continues to flourish, as an internationally renowned Hungarian countertenor, Zoltán Daragó, has just released videos of his performances recently recorded in New Norcia’s St Ildephonsus’ chapel. Zoltán’s virtuosic and heart-rending interpretations of some of Handel’s most beloved arias, were fittingly framed in the splendid chapel of St Ildephonsus’ College.
In 2015, Zoltán became the youngest singer to perform for the Hungarian State Opera, and since then has won acclaim for his lead roles in many productions, ranging from Philip Glass’s Akhnaten to Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea.
This recording project at New Norcia came about as a result of the previous collaborations of Paul Carasco, the producer and director of the videos, with New Norcia’s Fr Robert.
