Opera featuring award-winning tenor comes to TraralgonLa Primera Opera is coming to Traralgon on 19 July. Book your tickets, today. By news@gippsland - 5th July 2016 - Back to News Australia’s favourite concert opera company, La Prima Opera, is bringing an exciting new show, Encore, to Latrobe Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday, 19 July. The show stars special guest, Opera Australia singer and Green Room award-winning tenor, Bradley Daley.
Latrobe City Council’s performing arts and venues coordinator, Kathleen Roberts, said Encore was packed with opera highlights that everyone knew, even if they had never set foot in an opera house.
"The show also includes favourites from operas including Carmen and La Traviata through to Les Miserables and even Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’, performed by international soprano Alison Rae Jones and Opera Australia mezzo soprano Caroline Vercoe. Joining them is concert pianist Len Vorster," Ms Roberts said.
"Ever popular host, Christopher McKenna will add some extra fun to the evening and at the helm is world-acclaimed director, Stuart Maunder.
"Daley’s singing career has taken him around the world - from the Victoria State Opera to Germany, where he rose to prominence with a starring role in Cats . He will perform spine-tingling ‘Nessun Dorma’, the soaring melody made famous by Luciano Pavarotti.
"Daley will sing Siegmund in Opera Australia’s Ring Cycle in 2016 in Melbourne and next year he will make his major Wagnerian debut in Europe. This will render him one of only a handful of tenors in the world who can sing this notoriously difficult repertoire."
Encore will be performed at the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre in Traralgon on Tuesday, 19 July at 8pm.
