Your contact is
the performer.
Derek is a solo singer at Theater Trier and trained at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg. With Opera Lux Events, you plan directly with the singer who will perform at your event.
Discuss the songs, where the performance fits in the evening, and the room. Derek can combine opera with musical theatre and crossover, so your guests do not need to know opera to enjoy the programme.
Repertoire
Songs your guests
may already know.
These are examples from Derek’s stage and concert repertoire. The final programme and arrangements are agreed for your event. Explore the repertoire.
Fair Questions
What event planners
ask before booking.
Do our guests need to know opera?
No. Derek can combine opera with musical theatre and crossover songs. You choose the balance together, based on the guests and the occasion.
What does the venue need to provide?
A stage is not essential. Derek brings equipment and recorded orchestral backing. Space, power, access and sound requirements are agreed with the venue before booking. Share any venue restrictions in your enquiry.
Can it fit around speeches and dinner service?
Yes. A featured set or several shorter sets can be planned around your running order. Share your schedule when you enquire so Derek can suggest the right format.
Is the singing live? Is there a band?
Derek sings live, with recorded orchestral backing for solo event performances. There is no live band or orchestra in that format. A second singer can be requested for selected duets, subject to availability.
What happens after an enquiry?
Derek checks the date and discusses the programme and practical requirements with you. The performance and booking terms are agreed before you commit. An enquiry does not reserve a date.
