The Little Match Girl Opera - Paris World

The Paris world premiere of The Little Match Girl Chamber Opera was enthusiastically received by an international standing room only audience on 20 June 2013. Their enjoyment was reflected by a standing ovation for the performing artists and the composer/librettist of this extraordinary chamber opera — written some forty years ago! Mme Rachida Dati, a former Minister of Justice for France and a Deputy in the European Parliament, sponsored the Premiere, which was produced by Adrian Harrington Brown, a distinguished French businessman and educator. The Opera was performed by Soprano Anne-Chantal Carrière as the Little Match Girl and Mezzo- Soprano Véronique Bauer as the Grandmother.
