Description
Classification
Are You Lonesome Tonight is a celebration of opera and country music, featuring arias and songs by Puccini, Verdi, Slim Dusty, Troy Cassar-Daley and Dolly Parton, to name just a few.
Featuring a cast of three of Australia’s finest young singers, Gabrielle Diaz, Marcus Corowa and Jonathan Hickey, Are You Lonesome Tonight celebrates all that opera and country music have in common. Artists, composers, and librettists across both artforms understand the power of storytelling sharing many common themes of profound love, heartache, and triumph in the face of adversity.
Come in your jeans and boots or your tuxedos and ballgowns – this is opera that is diverse, accessible, and exciting!
These performers are faultless and it was so satisfying that the program maximised the chances to hear all three voices performing together.
