Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and the ASO

SOLD OUT

As the sun dipped down over the hauntingly beautiful Yalkarinha Gorge in the Flinders Ranges, internationally acclaimed opera star, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, took centre stage with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in Opera in the Outback, in 1988. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa enjoyed Opera in the Outback so much, that she returned to the event again in 1997, regarding it as one of her career highlights.

Now Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, arguably the most famous soprano in the world, is set to return to South Australia and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, a major coup for Adelaide audiences and the orchestra, as part of its 75th year anniversary.

'I cannot think of a more fitting artist for the ASO to perform with in such an historic and celebratory year for the orchestra, Kiri's voice is still second to none. The performance will be elegant, glamorous, moving and will have everyone talking', said The Advertiser's opera critic Ewart Shaw.

Dame Kiri gained legendary status almost overnight after her sensational debut as the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1971. From then, she moved rapidly into the front rank of international opera.

Here is a chance to reunite with or discover for the first time one of the true stars of the music world.
