Music includes songs from Gilbert and Sullivan, Oklahoma, The Merry Widow, My Fair Lady and favourite opera arias. Georgia Wilkinson, last year’s coloratura soprano Sun Aria winner, graduated at the tender age of 17 from the Victorian College of the Arts, with subsequent operatic training in Italy, Germany and the US. She has appeared on stage with such luminaries as Yvonne Kenny, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Marina Prior and James Morrison. Daniel Todd’s fine lyric tenor voice has been applauded in more than 30 roles with the Hamburg State Opera, where he has appeared with outstanding soloists and conductors. Daniel is much sought after in Europe, China and Australia for his versatile repertoire. Both Georgia and Daniel were graduates of Victorian Opera’s Developing Artist Program. Their performance together having established successful international careers is a great delight.They will be joined by accompanist Francis Greep renowned as an international vocal coach, recitalist, chorus master, continuo player and conductor.
