The National Arboretum Canberra continues its evolution into a national attraction as it prepares to hold its first major community concert on a grand scale on Saturday 12 November 2011.
Voices in the Forest, a Broadway and operatic concert, will feature internationally acclaimed singers and local talent against the stunning backdrop of the Arboretum and unique views across Canberra. The concert will start at 4.00pm and conclude at 7.30pm with gates opening at 2.00pm.
The concert will feature international and local acclaimed singers, including Sweden’s internationally acclaimed, mezzo-soprano, Anne Sofie von Otter, Australian mezzo-soprano Christina Wilson, soprano Louise Page and tenor Henry Choo. The program includes a special performance by Robyn Archer accompanied by PJ Casey.
The afternoon’s program has something for all, with well-known operatic arias from Bizet’s Carmen, Offenbach’s Bacarolle, Puccini’s Nessun Dorma, Broadway hits including songs from Gershwin and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and songs from ABBA and Louis Armstrong’s jazz era.
Voices in the Forest will be held in the natural amphitheatre near the new Visitors Centre site and the Events Terrace. The performance will climax as the sun sets over Canberra, creating a magical atmosphere as exquisite voices perform at their very best in duets and encores.
