Four of Australia’s Best-Loved Artists in the Performance of a Lifetime
From the Sydney Opera House, to the world’s most popular musicals, and Carols by Candlelight, Marina Prior, David Hobson, Silvie Paladino, and Michael Cormick have enchanted audiences across Australia and around the world.
Now, these four iconic stars unite for OVATION, a brand-new concert celebrating the very best of musical theatre and opera.
Marina Prior, Australia’s leading lady of musical theatre, is celebrated for unforgettable roles in The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, Cats, The Sound of Music, Follies, and most recently, Kimberly Akimbo. Awarded the Order of Australia for her contribution to the arts, Marina’s career is unmatched.
David Hobson brings operatic flair and nuance to all his performances. He has starred in Baz Luhrmann’s acclaimed La bohème, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, The Barber of Seville, and musical theatre productions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Follies and Funny Girl. His voice and charisma have earned him numerous accolades and a devoted following.
Silvie Paladino is renowned for her powerhouse performances in Les Misérables (Australia and West End), Miss Saigon, Mamma Mia!, Chess, Hair and Sunset Boulevard. Her dynamic stage presence and vocal versatility have captivated audiences at home and abroad.
Michael Cormick has appeared in major productions including Beauty and the Beast, Cats, Sunset Boulevard, and The Phantom of the Opera. His international career spans the UK, Europe and China, with performances at prestigious events including Royal Command Performances.
Together, these four stars deliver a stunning program of solos, duets, and ensemble pieces, accompanied by piano and string quartet.
