As part of her prize, Shuna performed Dich Teure Halle from Richard Wagner’s Tannhäuser followed by Tonight from West Side Story with Dame Kiri and José Carreras at BBC Proms In The Park in Hyde Park, London on Saturday 11 September 2010 and was given the opportunity to attend a three-week residential course at the Solti Te Kanawa Accademia in Italy.
A dwindling population: This theme surfaces several times in Miyazaki’s more serious works, including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Princess Mononoke, as well as here in Journey of Shuna.
