Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, was born Claire Mary Teresa Rawstron in the small New Zealand seaside town of Gisborne. Here, the birth child of a native Maori man and a woman of European extraction was adopted at five weeks of age by a local couple, Tom and Nell Te Kanawa, he also a Maori and she with family ties to the British Isles. The Te Kanawas named their daughter Kiri, the Maori word for bell. She was to be their only child. The family came from modest circumstances: Tom Te Kanawa ran a truck contracting business, while his wife stayed home with Kiri. Some of Kiri's earliest recollections are of blissfully swimming in the sea with her father and of fishing. And for almost as long as she can remember, she sang. Her first performances were on a little stage jerry-rigged in the Te Kanawa's house, complete with a curtain; "the curtains would come back," she recalled, "and I'd get up and sing." Without a television in the home, music and singing quickly became the primary entertainment. While Kiri had a breezy indifference to her own voice, her mother heard something magical: the raw beauty and talent of her dulcet tones. She told her daughter one morning that she had seen a wondrous vision of Kiri singing at London's Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. Nell and Tom's love and devotion to Kiri turned that vision into reality and gave the world one of the greatest voices of the 20th century. Dame Kiri often speaks of the love and sacrifice that her parents Tom and Nell made for .... + Informações

Dear Dame Kiri, Wishing you health, happiness and peace on your 67th birthday ! With sincere admiration, Whitebabygrandpiano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Kiri Te Kanawa gained legendary status almost overnight after her sensational debut as the Countess in Le Nozze di Figaro at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1971. From then, she moved rapidly into the front rank of international opera, and has become one of the most famous sopranos in the world. At the time of her operatic debut she was already an experienced concert and recording artist, and equally at home in front of the cameras as on stage. A Gala Concert was given in February 2004 in Auckland, to launch The Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation, a charity which aims to give support and financial aid to dedicated New Zealand singers and musicians. Dame Kiri continues to devote her experience and expertise to organising and appearing at further concerts and Galas to raise funds for this Foundation and the UK based Friends of the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation. She has also become the Founding Artistic Director of the Solti Te Kanawa Accadamia di Bel Canto, a summer course based in Italy, training the next generation of opera singers. Throughout 2008 and 2009 Dame Kiri (in addition to her mentoring , teaching and fund raising) has continued to perform in concert halls and arenas throughout the world, with performances in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, England, Brazil, Turkey, Jersey, the USA, Canada, Hungary, Serbia, Greece .... + Informações
