The Nightingales Enchant Toronto

The Nightingales Enchant Toronto

Photos and text by Michelle Chermaine Ramos

The Nightingales started off the Toronto Philippine Consulate General’s Independence Day weekend festivities with a bang on Friday June 10th 2016 at the Alliance Francaise theatre in downtown Toronto where guests were treated to a sumptuous cocktail reception before the show. Bianca Camille Lopez and Aizel Izza Prietos-Livioco enchanted the crowd with a selection of opera arias, Broadway classics and their twist on modern pop songs. The incredible duo with angelic voices are alumnae of the renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers. Hand-picked at a young age as voice scholars at the Makiling High School for the Arts before studying vocal performance at the University of the Philippines College of Music, they are now known as some of the youngest and most powerful classical singers in the country. They are on their first international tour outside of Asia bringing with them the pride of the Philippines as they showcase the country’s vibrant culture with their world- class talents.
