WELL-KNOWN opera arias and iconic songs from musicals are on the program for the Coffs Harbour Music Society’s upcoming concert with internationally-acclaimed tenor Bradley Daley and pianist Sarka Budinska.
The concert takes place on Saturday 27 September from 7.30pm at St John Paul College Theatre, Coffs Harbour.
For anyone who loves sumptuous music and engaging storytelling, this concert provides both.
Bradley shares surprising and sometimes humorous stories of a boy from the Gold Coast finding himself singing powerful roles in Germany, including the biggest of them all, Siegfried in Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle.
“Our lucky audience can expect an unforgettable concert by these international performers with powerful arias, as well as moments of fun and hilarity from the multi-talented Bradley Daley, along with scintillating accompaniment by pianist Sarka Budinska,” said Music Society President Leigh Summers.
While Bradley grew up on the Gold Coast he spent many childhood holidays in Coffs Harbour.
These days he travels between Australia and the great opera halls in Belgium, Italy, England, Germany, France and Hanoi.
His talents are far broader than opera with many successful forays into musical theatre, including roles alongside Eric Idle from Monty Python’s ‘Not the Messiah’ and performances as both Gus and Old Deuteronomy in ‘Cats’.
