NZ Music Month kicks off with the return of Opera in the Strand on 1 May.

Free and with no tickets needed, people will simply walk up and hear New Zealand's finest young opera singers in full voice.

Featuring opera stars:
- Emma Jones - Soprano
- Olivia Forbes - Soprano
- Sarah Mileham – Soprano
- Ridge Ponini – Tenor
- Edward Laurenson - Baritone
- Alfred Fonoti-Fuimaono - Baritone
- Accompanied by David Kelly, Pianist.
