The sopranos are performing alongside Jonathan Lemalu (bass) and Simon O’Neill (tenor) with the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra (DSO) and City Choir Dunedin in "Ode to Joy", Beethoven’s magnificent Symphony No 9, to be conducted by Kenneth Young, at the Dunedin Town Hall this weekend. For Trigg, singing with these international stars presents a wonderful opportunity. Atlas says it is quite surprising, given she spent her high school years in Invercargill, where her father was a vicar, during which time she discovered her love of singing and performing. She has been doing some coaching sessions at New Zealand Opera in Auckland to put the finishing touches on her voice for "Ode to Joy".
