A little Mozart with Sir Thomas Allen

This spring I had the good fortune of participating in a Masterclass given by Sir Thomas Allen, as part of the Concours Musical International de Montréal.  We worked in front of an audience for 45 minutes on one of Idamante's arias from Mozart's opera Idomeneo.  As a world-renowned Mozartean, Sir Thomas Allen's stylistic sensibilities are fine-tuned to this repertoire, and he was able to give me some great tips to propel my performance and interpretation to the next level.  Here is a clip of the fruit of our labours, from the masterclass itself.
