Two days and twenty hours in a car together was all it took for singers Georgia Jamieson Emms and Robert Tucker to come up with their latest venture: the Marlborough Opera Festival.

​

Robert and Georgia first met in the New Zealand Youth Choir in 1999. Not long after leaving the choir, they were cast as the ill-fated lovers Fiordiligi and Guglielmo in Opera Otago’s Cosi fan tutte directed by Jacqueline Coats and conducted by Holly Mathieson. Their careers took them to Europe and home again.

​

Robert and Georgia are seen regularly performing with NZ Opera and on the concert stage in classical and contemporary works, and are in demand as vocal tutors, adjudicators, as a conductor (Robert) and librettist (Georgia).
