Pop sensation and legendary songstress, Tina Arena, makes a triumphant return to Australia in 2012 for a series of stellar live performances across the country, including with the renowned Sydney Symphony.
Her loyal Australian audience will be treated to magnificent arrangements of her repertoire - as broad and diverse as her amazing career - specifically written for a Symphony Orchestra.
'This was the best pop-meets-classical show I have ever seen...joined by a small rock band, the Orchestra was simply breathtaking...this was a musical partnership which moved together seamlessly and with a generosity and such openness that almost every instrument became thrillingly distinct.' - The West Australian
Music Lovers should not miss this opportunity to see one of Australia's brightest stars performing favourites including Chains, Call Me, Don't Cry For Me Argentina and I Want to Know what Love is with the acclaimed Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
'The concert reminded you what truly great songs and joyful musical partnerships are all about' - The West Australian
