Peter Karrie and Brenna Conrad Set for 33rd Annual Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo
By: Kelsey Denette
Peter Karrie will be representing the United Kingdom at the 33rd Annual Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the world's largest annual indoor show, in Halifax, NS, Canada from July 1-8, 2012. The event will celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and pay tribute to the loss of the RMS Titanic and the role Halifax played in the disaster in 1912. Karrie will be joined by fellow Canadian and soprano, Brenna Conrad. Known as the world's most popular Phantom, Karrie has performed the role over 2,700 times around the world in Lloyd Webber's 'The Phantom of the Opera'.
Karrie and Conrad will not only perform a number from Phantom, but will also include some Cole Porter music, a few sea shanties, and, "My Heart Will Go On" from the film 'Titanic'. The week long event will include bagpipes, highland dancers, la culture de l’acadie and military traditions. Among the nearly 2,000 performers from seven countries are the Queen’s Colour Squadron of the Royal Air Force, the Paris Police Gymnastic Team and Club Piruett from Estonia, the European rhythmic gymnastic champions.
Karrie was most recently featured in the Maritimes this past April offering a high school masterclass and concert event in Moncton, New Brunswick. He will be touring the US and Canada providing high schools, colleges, universities, and community youth theatre programs customizable masterclasses and concerts.
