THE NEW ZEALAND OPERA SOCIETY

Eddie and Sani Muliaumaseali'i received a call to come home for mums heart operation. the experience has led the family to pull together to raise funds to cover medical costs 

The brothers left NZ in the 1990's to pursue a career in Opera as the NZ market for Polynesian Opera did not exist. Eddie and Sani have not performed together in NZ for almost 10 years. 

It is a rare ocassion to have brothers of Samoan descent, together on stage singing for their mothers health and well being...not to be missed!
