Padma Presents:Opera & The Great White Way

The Padma Presents series of musical concerts has become synonymous with outstanding world-class musical performances presented to visitors and residents in Bali.

Following a sold-out concert by international violin maestro Iskandar Widjaya earlier this year, Padma Presents will bring another memorable night of operatic and Broadway music to the Plumeria Grand Ballroom of Padma Resort Legian on Friday, 02 September 2022.

Featuring a theatrical presentation format for the evening, the performers will open the evening with five selections from Giacomo Puccini’s epic opera “La Boheme.” Following a brief intermission, the ensemble will return to perform musical highlights from the international smash musical Les Misérables – the Cameron Mackintosh legendary production inspired by a novel by Victor Hugo.

This group of Indonesia’s very accomplished performers will appear in a unique evening of ensemble singing and musicianship.

The group is led and directed by renowned tenor Farman Purnama – a graduate in classical vocal performance at Utrecht Conservatory in the Netherlands. He is a frequently featured soloist with the Batavia Madrigal Singers and The Jakarta Concert Orchestra. In possession of a superb voice and a compelling stage presence, Purnama has won high praise for performing as Don José in Bizet’s CARMEN (Jakarta Concert Opera); Ferrando in Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte (Dutch National Opera Academy), Anneas in Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Turiddu in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, and Samson in Sait-Saëns Samson and Delilah. 

Farman Purnama has also performed as a featured stage soloist in Macau and Japan as both a stage performer and on recordings (Warner Classic) in Japan.
