Two of Australia’s most popular entertainers Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Guy Noble join forces in a thrilling program of greatly loved opera arias and Broadway show tunes.
Hear Australia’s favourite bass-baritone and one of our most charismatic pianists perform spine-tingling renditions of Some Enchanted Evening, If I Were a Rich Man, Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’, The Toreador Song from Carmen, Largo al factotum from The Barber of Seville, a surprising G & S hit and much, much more.
The remarkable talent and on-stage chemistry of The King and Guy combine to make this concert one of the entertainment highlights of 2022.
Review
Teddy Tahu Rhodes is where we like to find him, front and centre on the operatic stage.
On familiar ground he’s unbeatable. His O What a Beautiful Morning, It Might as Well be Spring and especially his Some Enchanted Evening were crowd pleasers.
…
Guy Noble, best known as a conductor, is a willing accomplice, with a wicked sense of humour… The audience roared with laughter.
