Opera Queens
Experience the thrilling sound of seven opera singers portraying the power and passion of eight great historical and legendary Queens in Opera Queens – Brisbane. Queensland favourites, Kathryn Bradbury-King, Dominique Fegan, Regan Flor and Heru Pinkasova join with Louise Keast, Jill Sullivan and Leah Thomas from Sydney in The Opera and Song Collective’s presentation of ‘Opera Queens’ with maestro Simon Kenway at the piano and one of Australia’s favourite bass baritones Tom Hamilton as MC.
Not just your average Tudors, our Queens range from the alluring Cleopatra, demonic Klytemnestra, tragic Dido and magnificent Queen of Sheba to the scheming Lady Macbeth, devout and defiant Mary Stuart, discarded Anne Boleyn and triumphant Elizabeth 1.
Music from the operas of Gluck, Handel, Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi, Berlioz, Gounod, Massenet and Pasitieri featuring the Lady Monarchs.
