In Concert with Jessica Pratt

Bravo Bellini

2 September 2023 Palais Theatre, St Kilda

World-renowned star Jessica Pratt returns to Melbourne for a one night only concert of bellissimo Bellini.

World-renowned star Jessica Pratt returns to Melbourne for a special one-night-only concert of spectacular highlights from the Bel Canto repertoire. Joined by beloved tenor Carlos E. Bárcenas.

Jessica Pratt is widely considered one of today’s foremost interpreters of Bel Canto’s most challenging roles having adorned the stages of the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, Staatsoper Hamburg and been awarded the Vienna State Opera Award. She returns to the Melbourne stage for the first time since her sold out 2019 Heroic Bel Canto concert with Victorian Opera.

The program will showcase work exploring the heroes and heroines from the Bel Canto canon that will delight opera lovers and reveal a richly layered world of song for those new to the genre, all under the baton of Richard Mills with our performance partner, Orchestra Victoria. Join us for what will be one of the most spectacular nights of the Melbourne musical calendar with Jessica Pratt.
