‘Melodies of Vienna’: A night of opera in Dhaka

An opera night in Dhaka might seem a bit of an oxymoron, but contradictions can often coexist. Such was the case on the evening of last Friday (September 30), when “Melodies of Vienna” unfolded in the capital, featuring opera singer Soprano Mila Janevska and pianist Silvia Vaterl.

Opera, with its intricate fusion of music, drama, poetry, and movement, presents a complete sensory experience. The selected pieces for the evening showcased compositions by legendary Austrian composers, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), Hugo Wolf (1860-1903), Gustav Mahler (1860-1911), Franz Schubert (1797-1828), and Richard Strauss (1864-1949).
