A perfect test drive of the world’s most famous arias, the concert introduces novices to the vast world of opera through familiar tunes.

Celebrated conductor Brian Castles-Onion AM who plays host and pianist, will captivate and guide audiences through the world of opera with his light-hearted, witty charm.
Each performance will feature a combination of four of OA’s finest principal artists: sopranos Petah Chapman, Sophie Salvesani and Anne-Louise Cole, mezzos soprano Sian Sharp and Chanyang Choi, tenors Simon Kim and Thomas strong, and baritones tenor Luke Gabbedy and Alexander Sefton.
