Superstar tenor Mario Frangoulis makes his eagerly anticipated debut appearance in Melbourne with a spectacular concert in the Hamer Hall.
One of the world’s greatest classical crossover artists will perform a thrilling program of popular opera and broadway hits, as well as greatly loved songs of his native Greece.
Discovered by famed impresario Cameron Mackintosh, who cast him in the role of Marius in the West End production of Les Misérables, Mario was also invited by Andrew Lloyd Webber to play the role of Raoul in Phantom of the Opera to huge critical acclaim.
He has also excelled as a recording artist selling over 1 million records worldwide. He is consistently ranked in the top 10 on international charts, and in 2011 was voted Best Male Classical Crossover Artist globally.
His Melbourne concert, an Australian exclusive, will showcase his extraordinary talent and he will be backed by full orchestra under the baton of acclaimed conductor Vanessa Scammell. They will be joined by the brilliant young Australian soprano Julie Lea Goodwin, who also enjoys a stellar career in opera and musical theatre having sung the role of Christine alongside Anthony Warlow’s Phantom.
