Popular musical performers Operatunity will be back in east Auckland next month as part of their The Gatsby Era tour.
They’re set to perform at St Columba Church in Botany on September 3 with the concert starting at 11am.
Their new musical celebration of the roaring 1920s and 30s features the multi-talented Ten Tenors star Cameron Barclay, “joined by a sizzling live band and singers who will delight audiences with classic hits from the era”.
“The Gatsby Era promises an enchanting blend of glamour, toe-tapping dance tunes, and melodic ballads,” the group says.
“This was the era of iconic composers like Kern, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Noel Coward.
“We showcase many wonderful songs like Lullaby of Broadway, Don’t put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington, 5 foot 2 Eyes of Blue, You’re the Cream in my Coffee, It Had to be You, Summertime, Zing went the Strings of my Heart, and so many more.”
Operatunity director and award-winning soprano Susan Boland leads the musical journey, supported by an impressive line-up of local talent including singers Cameron Barclay – one of the internationally acclaimed The Ten Tenors, Russell Dixon – star of London’s West End, and Operatunity resident artist Kelly Lim Harris.
Joining Operatunity’s singers will be a live band featuring some of New Zealand’s most iconic instrumentalists.
Mike Booth on trumpet, Pete France on saxophone, Hank Trenton on Double Bass and maestro Grant Winterburn at the piano.
