| Selim, the Turkish Pasha Nicolas Dwyer Established baritone soloist Nicolas Dwyer appears in a speaking role - that of the
venemous yet strangely-sweet Turkish overlord. Having performed with
Situation Opera as Guglielmo in 2008's Cosi Fan Tutte, and as a soloist
in Händel's Messiah, Nicolas
will appear as bass soloist in our December 2009 Mozart's Requiem. An
established operatic performer, we will upload more about Nicholas in
the near future

| Osmin, Master of the Sultan's Gardens Georgios Papaefstratiou  The
huge energy of Georgios' stage presence was first introduced to
Situation Opera audiences when he played Don Alfonso in Cosi Fan Tutte,
and he has since performed in several concerts with us. He takes on the
comic villain in the opera - everything from fig picking to horrendous
torture lie within his nature! A full biography of Georgios showing his
extensive work will be uploaded shortly.
