John Foreman:
The Australian Pops New Year’s Eve Gala has become a Melbourne tradition. This year it is particularly special with not one but two performers – Silvie Paladino and Josh Piterman – who have graced the West End stages joining us along with the magnificent Paulini, who starred in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. They will be singing songs from musicals we know and love including Sunset Boulevard, The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables all backed by a magnificent 60-piece symphony orchestra and fabulous dancers, resulting in a show that’s uplifting, fun, and will send you into 2025 in the best way possible.
This year’s concerts will pack in more music and laughter than ever and include three performances – The Day Before on Monday 30 December at 2pm, New Year’s Eve matinee on Tuesday 31 December at 2pm and New Year’s Eve on Tuesday 31 December at 8pm.
Audience members attending the New Year’s Eve 8pm performance can also purchase an add on ticket for a pre-show party that includes interval drinks and/or a ticket for a very special after-show fireworks balcony party after the show with drinks, nibblies and one of the best views of Melbourne’s fireworks!
For over 40 years, the Australian Pops Orchestra has presented a unique blend of popular classical and contemporary music to Australian audiences. They have performed alongside many of the world’s favourite singers including Luciano Pavarotti, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Peter Allen, Andrea Bocelli, Dame Joan Sutherland, Sir Cliff Richard, Ray Charles and many more.
