This spine tingling performance showcases breathtaking opera hits to music theatre classics. Featuring a stellar cast of 8 including Australia’s most exciting tenor, Bradley Daley with String Quartet live on stage.
Even if you’ve never stepped foot in an opera house this show will arouse any taste. The songs are a backdrop to contemporary life. Familiar from movies, TV series, advertisements, sporting events, and even cartoons, including the iconic Nessun Dorma from ‘Turandot’ (Soccer World Cup theme) to the heart-melting Flower Duet from ‘Lakmé’ (British Airways Ad.).
One of Australia’s most popular and versatile tenors, Bradley Daley’s international career has won him critical acclaim for many of opera’s most expansive tenor roles. These have included Siegfried and Siegmund in Wagner’s Ring Cycle. He is Australia’s first Siegfried in 50 years!
Bradley is joined by Gippsland born international soprano Alison Jones whose career has taken her to opera houses all over the world and from London’s West End to Royal Albert Hall and Elton John’s Birthday party. Mezzo soprano Caroline Vercoe spent 15 years at the Sydney Opera House with Opera Australia and is a Valkyrie in Melbourne Opera’s much anticipated Wagner’s Ring Cycle in 2023; Popular compere Chris Mckenna injects loads of fun into the production.
A String Quartet of young gun players will be led by violinist, Matt Hassall. Matt is a full-time member of Orchestra Victoria. He has performed with the Queensland, Melbourne, and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras, the Queensland Philharmonic and appeared as Concertmaster for the national tour of West Side Story, the Melbourne season of Les Misérables, Ladies in Black (MTC), “Sweeney Todd” and “Sunday in The Park with George” (Vic. Opera).
