It’s been a busy year of singing for soprano Natasha Te Rupe Wilson, even with the inevitable Covid postponements.
Her performances have included the world premiere of Tim Finn’s ‘Ihitai - ‘Avei’a’, and her debut in the role of Little Red Riding Hood in Lucy Mulgan’s new production ‘Red!’
And now Natasha has been announced as the recipient of the prestigious $50,000 Dame Malvina Major Award for 2021.
The young soprano left New Zealand recently for an audition tour of Europe and plans to base herself in Germany to further develop her career.
RNZ’s Clarissa Dunn caught up with Natasha on Zoom last week, shortly after she’d arrived in Berlin.
