Recital with Lars Lettner

We were delighted to find that one of the Oxford Experience participants in week five was Lars Lettner, the German Opera singer. Lars had abandoned opera for the week to study astronomy and was taking the “Strange Universe“ course.

On the Friday, Lars gave a short recital of sacred music in the Cathedral, where he was accompanied on piano by Nancy Graham, one of the Oxford Summer School in Theology participants.

It was a wonderful chance for us to hear Lars sing – in fact one of the Cathedral stewards begged him to return to sing again.

You can find out more about Lars Lettner from this website (in German).

If you missed hearing Lars sing, you can hear him sing an aria from Faust here.

You can see pictures of Lars at the recital on the Ox Ex Flickr website here.
