Sydney Opera House to Present COLE PORTER CELEBRATION, Begin. 9/19

Sydney Opera House will present a Cole Porter CELEBRATION at the Concert Hall on Thursday September 19 at 8pm & Saturday September 21 at 2pm.

Over two rich performances Sydney Philharmonia's Festival Chorus and Orchestra will feature four of Australia's emerging stars. Together, they will transport audiences to a bygone era through the music of one of the world's greatest composers.

"Countless times over its 93 year history, Sydney Philharmonia has supported emerging artists, including singers, musicians and composers. We're delighted to be collaborating with four emerging artists in this witty and entertaining program." SPC Chairman Sara Watts

"Porter's melodies are addictive" says Rob Mallet who has recently toured nationally as Buck in Hot Shoe Shuffle. "The wit in his lyrics is magical and relevant today! I feel as rich as he was when I sing them! "

"Cole Porter is actually my favourite composer of all time" says mezzo soprano Kerrie Anne Greenland. "His lyrics are timeless, sophisticated and witty and I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to sing some of his best work."

The Cole Porter Celebration will be a wonderful union of musical theatre and choral music when these extraordinary young graduates from WAPPA and the Sydney Conservatorium join the much feted Festival Chorus and Orchestra to belt out classics such as Begin the Beguine, Night & Day, Blow Gabriel Blow, Anything Goes and I Get a Kick Out of You.
