Review 1 for Kiri Te Kanawa
Kiri Te Kanawa was just fantastic in Rotorua

There was little publicity about this concert and I think we were a couple of the only out of towners but this concert was just world class. The venue which we hadn't been to before was very good and our seats great. We had both excellent sound and good visiblity - we felt to be very close to the stage. Well worth the price and travel.

A wonderful recital, I loved the song choices. Highlights were definietly Scarborough Fair and O Waly Waly, it's incredible what an artist like Dame Kiri can do with a simple folk song, the were incredibly moving.
The first encore was to die for, a song about her father - I miss my own dad so much it went right to my heart.
And Ben Makisi is always great, I love him when he's cheeky!

This was a real showcase for New Zealand talent at its world class best - a pity that a dvd will not be made available for a wider audience.

This was a lovely evening and the first time we had actually seen Dame Kiri perform live. I was amazed at her voice and have not heard anything like it despite microphones/ arena's acoustics (shame about that). It was also the first time we had heard Teddy Tahu Rhodes and the young talent, Kawiti Waetford. It was great to hear locally produced singers and reassuring to know that Europe and America do not have the monopoly on talent. I hope such talent can be encouraged and trained not just in London but also here. Thank you Dame Kiri

Most enjoyable evening with Kiri and supporting acts very proud to be Kiwi's the whole show was great so many great comments about the show from people I have never met before. A wonderful prelude to winning the Rugby World Cup. Memories for ever could have sat through the show again that evening.

Dame Kiri still has what it takes to mover her audience. The NZSO was also very impressive, and so were the two supporting male singers.

Entertainment wise - a great show. the NZSO an act in itself, and a joy to be introduced to the 2 young Maori performers - Teddy and Kawiti. I would like to have heard more from them. Kiri of course was professional but relaxed and related to the audience.

Unforgettable evening. Dame Kiri was wonderful , the Powhiri set the tone for the evening. Teddy has a magnificent voice, and Kawiti will go far. the Conductor and his orchestra played beautifully.
It has been a long time since I enjoyed a concert so much.
thank you

My husband and I thoughly enjoyed the show, the NZSO are a real credit to NZ and a pleasure to listen to, the guest singers were fantastic, the conductor amazing and the Opera Company lovely.
I feel as if I am waxing lyrical here, it really was a superb show. Dame Kiri is such a class act and if I ever have the opportunity to see her perform agian I would jump at it.

Loved every minute of the 2 hours of rich quality music.
Dissappointed that Vector knew the number of people attending, therefore should have had two big screens either side of the centre screen. The projection of the artists on the big screen was not the best it should have been.
On Maori TV on Sunday, this Gala event was screened and saw a better view of Kiri and the artists than I did on Sat pm .

The whole performance was excellent by the Kiri and also by the 2 male supporting acts and we were really impressed with the NZSO, I will definitely be going to see them again.
The venue staging was disappointing though because the visuals of the singers were out of synch with the sound - which would have spoiled it for those who were not close to the stage. We were really lucky to have seats close enough to be able to see the singers so avoided looking at the visuals - which were really off putting.

Really good show with supporting singers who provided stirring additions and back up to Kiri in the overall show.
Great value for money as she provided various encores.

The combination of Dame Kiwi, and the two gentlement was an incredible mix. We were enthralled from the beginning to the end. We couldn't get enough.
The show commenced with an outstanding performance from a Maori group which was so rousing and powerful and it just went from strength to strength. This is a must see for everyone.

The Kiri te Kanawa concert was a great experience and Kiri seemed very relaxed and her voice as strong as ever. The NZSO played to their normal high standard and the two male singers and the chorus were a lovely balance. A great night and the standing ovation was a well earned tribute.

Shame about the feed to the big screen, but the rest was amazing...what an event. Slightly annoying ticking sound from right hand side of arena (facing the stage) when Kiri was singing...but all was fantastic for terakihi and po kare kare Ana...the Maori performers at the beginning were amazing too. Great night out....
