Featuring Johanna Allen, Mitchell Butel, The Idea of North and your Adelaide Symphony Orchestra

Tidings of Comfort and Joy!

What better way to end this year – a year like no other – than with a celebration of the things that draw us together? Let the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and the Adelaide Festival Centre, with a line-up of special guests, bring you tidings of comfort and joy this festive season, in a glorious Christmas concert celebration at the Festival Theatre.

In this festive program, you’ll hear some of your favourite carols and traditional Christmas songs, sung with sophistication and style by the ARIA-award winning vocal quartet The Idea of North. We will also be joined by Adelaide’s own Green Room Award Winner and Festival Centre Walk of Fame recipient, Johanna Allen. And who better to be your master of ceremonies than Mr. Personality himself, the Artistic Director of State Theatre Company South Australia, Mitchell Butel? There will be plenty of surprises along the way too, including special appearances by the Little Drummer Boy and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

What a perfect opportunity to gather together with family and friends and honour the strength, resilience and community spirit that has seen us through 2020.

Whether you’re nine or ninety-nine, A Christmas Celebration will bring joy to your world.
