Robert Wiremu adapting Erebus disaster to Mozart

From Māpuna, 12:11 pm today

Maori bass baritone and vocal coach Robert Wiremu has developed a work which commemorates the Erebus air disaster in Antarctica through the lens of Mozart. Air New Zealand Flight TE901 was on a sight seeing flight in November 1979 when it crashed into Mount Erebus in Antarctica, killing all 257 people on board. Reimagining Mozart will be performed in Wanaka on March 31.
