SOPRANO Lara Maigue is the ‘surprise’ performer who will sing the national anthem during the second State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., a House of Representatives official said Friday.
“Ang balita namin there will be a singer ng pambansang awit natin. Ang pangalan niya ay Lara Maigue. Tinignan namin ‘yun sa YouTube. Very famous pala siya,” House Secretary-General Reginald Velasco told TeleRadyo Serbisyo.
Maigue, who is a classically trained soprano, has made waves online thanks to her amazing vocals. Her version of the classic Mozart piece “Queen of the Night” garnered 21 million views on Instagram.
A video of Maigue singing a duet with her mother also went viral.
Maigue was among the performers for ‘To Broadway with Love’, a 2-night sold out concert at the Esplanade concert hall with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Gerard Salonga. (ABS-CBN News)
