Pene Pati, Winner of the Second and Audience Prizes in Operalia 2015, is featured in the latest episode of the San Francisco Opera series In Song
“Pati shares, “I didn’t even know singing was a talent in the beginning. I really didn’t. It was so embedded in our culture and in our DNA that you sing on your history. Opera, in a sense, is all about that. You’re singing a story to the next person and they pass it on.”
On pursuing an operatic career as a Pacific Islander, he says in the film: “I think my biggest motivator was knowing that I need to be the guy that shields the next lot of singers … it clears the path for the next lot of Pacific singers who want to chase the dream.”“
