By special request, Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson, Cultural Attaché and Minister for the Yartz, have agreed to appear on stage with Barry Humphries in concert with his favourite orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and old friend Richard Tognetti.
Humphries presents his choice of jazz-inspired orchestral music – Ravel, Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Walton’s Façade. Sir Les pays tribute to his favourite singers from Peter Dawson to Rod Stewart via Slim Dusty. There may even be a sing-a-long with Dame Edna. With Barry Humphries in charge of the Orchestra, anything could happen.
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime event.
