Recital by Trisdee Na Patalung

The Bangkok Opera's Salon de l'Opera series of Monday night events returns this evening at 8pm with a programme featuring 19-year-old Trisdee na Patalung, one of Thailand's most visible classical musicians, who will play the complete `Inventions' and `Sinfonias' by J.S. Bach in recital. This is a rare opportunity to hear a performance of this complete set of compositions, played in a drawing-room atmosphere for which they were originally conceived.

Trisdee na Patalung has just returned from the Netherlands where he played in 10 performances of `Orfeo Intermezzi' at the Rotterdam Opera Festival. He divides his time between being principal repetiteur of the Bangkok Opera and working in Europe.

The private home setting of the Salon de l'Opera is at 28, Sukhumvit Soi 36. The series will be expanding in the coming months. These events are intended as small get-togethers for lovers of culture. Seating is limited to about 30 people, so call if you plan to bring a large group. The phone number of the Bangkok Opera is 02-661-4688/9.

Admission to Salon de l'Opera events is free, but a small donation is solicited for wine and other refreshments.
