Lisa Gasteen & the ASO

Adelaide Festival Theatre

Saturday 9 August at 8.00pm (Finish approx. 10.00pm)

Australian soprano, Lisa Gasteen, has conquered many of the world’s leading opera houses in the most demanding soprano roles in the repertoire and is one of a select band of singers whose voices blaze triumphantly through the huge orchestral forces summoned by Wagner and Richard Strauss. In her keenly awaited return to Adelaide, since her triumph in the 2004 Ring, here is a chance to savour her powerful, rapturous singing, tempered with sensitivity when she performs some of the great moments from those giants the operatic repertoire.

In association with the Adelaide Festival Centre and State Opera of SA.

Adelaide Town Hall

Friday 15 August at 8.00pm (Finish approx. 10.00pm)

Saturday 16 August at 6:30pm (Finish approx. 8:30pm)

Hailed everywhere he appears as one of the great instrumentalists of our age, James Ehnes combines exquisite finesse with technical perfection, consummate grace with electric brio in the ideal virtuoso vehicle for his extraordinary playing: Tchaikovsky’s timeless Violin Concerto. By turns muscular, contemplative and radiant, Hindemith’s Mathis der Maler, a symphony inspired by the iconic Isenheim Altarpiece by the German Gothic artist, Mathias Grunewald, Hindemith captures the extraordinary richness and power of the artist’s work. Britten’s Four Sea Interludes, a masterpiece of dramatic scene setting, starts this stirring program off with vigour.
