Auckland Opera Studio

Ridge Ponini may be all smiles — but he's also all work.

One of the most gifted young tenors in Aotearoa, this proud Cook Island artist is heading to the National Opera Studio in London later this year. But first, on 28 June, he takes the stage at the Great Hall, Auckland Town Hall, with a full orchestra behind him.

Come and catch him before the world does.
