Kiri Te Kanawa - Pokarekare Ana - Millennium Dawn New Years Day Concert

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa singing the Maori love song on the beach in New Zealand at sunrise of New Years Day 2000. Her performance started the worldwide Millennium celebrations and was watched by millions.

I may be 21 years late, but I'm still impressed.

The choir sang this song on my wedding day on March 30, 1991 at a tiny village, Isu-Amanator, in southeast Nigeria. I'll always love the song.

[@patriciawylie3093]

I was there. Never forgotten. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. A blessing to the world.

[@janices6136]

I remember this day. I was living in Rotorua when this happened and was on TV around the world as dawn broke with sun up on the first day of 2000 around the world.

This literally stopped me in my tracks during the Millenium celebrations when I first saw it. The perfect combination of the New Zealand bird dawn chorus, the sight of the tall ships in the bay at sunrise, the incredible Moari choir & Dame Kiri's soaring and beautiful voice. Absolute perfection.
I have never forgotten it & I never will.

[@frankearley1404]

Both the song and her singing it 24 years ago raises my emotions too much to describe. 🥲

The Māori language is so well suited to opera. It's a pity it isn't done very often..

[@aldoramos1970]

Bravo lovely Kiri...the most beautiful lyric soprano the world has ever had!

[@trchc189]

That's kind of a stupid, uneducated remark to make unless you've studied extensively the history of sopranos from opera music and have some basis to make such a claim?

[@ancelingaee3738]

I hope one day my 9 year old daughter will be like you, Kiri....She loves Opera :-)
