Pangkor Laut Resort to Present First-Ever ‘Opera in Paradise’

By David Salazar

Malaysia’s Pangkor Laut Resort is set to present the first-ever “Opera in Paradise” this October.

From Oct. 20-22, audiences will get a chance to experience a unique performance featuring such artists as tenor Michael Austin, flutist Andrea Griminelli, and vocal duo Belle Voci.

Austin is an American singer who has performed throughout the world and famously appeared in the world premiere of Glass’ “Akhnaten.” Belle Voci is comprised of singers Emily Burnett and Sophie Rowland.

Per an official press release, the event aims, in part, to honor the legacy of Luciano Pavarotti, who gave a semi-private performance at Pangkor Laut Resort back in 1994 and stated, “This place is enchanting, it is paradise here. This morning when I woke up, I went out (and) I was really moved, almost crying to see how beautiful things has (been) done by God. Because this is really paradise.”

The showcase will be followed by sunset cocktails and a dinner experience.
