'I'm extremely excited that I'm finally returning to Australia and that I'll get to see more of your beautiful country. My father was stationed in Australia when he was in the Navy so visiting the country has always held special memories for me. ' Said Katherine Jenkins "It was such an honour to perform at the Sydney Opera House on my previous trip; I'm looking forward to performing in new and wonderful places, as well as showcasing some of my newer material for Australian audiences"
