The Australian Musical Theatre Festival has announced that the award-winning Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra will travel to Launceston to appear at next year’s festival in Some Enchanted Evening.
Joining the orchestra for an unforgettable evening will be living legend Caroline O’Connor with music theatre star Alinta Chidzey and much-loved Australian tenor, Mark Vincent. This extraordinary trio will bring lush orchestral arrangements of beloved classics to life under the baton of musical composer and conductor, Guy Noble.
The inspiring, invigorating 47-piece TSO has been entertaining audiences since 1948 and will perform Some Enchanted Evening – a concert that will combine the greatest hits from Broadway and the West End, including the timeless melodies of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim and more.
“The addition of the TSO takes the festival to new levels and is a pinnacle event in a program that encompasses five days, many venues, a range of engagements with many of our greatest stars and emerging talent, all set alongside an international city of gastronomy that serves the best food and wine I know,” said Australian Musical Theatre Festival artistic director, Tyran Parke.
“Over the past five festivals, the program has grown to include new works and classic musicals re-interpreted in modern contexts and unusual spaces, alongside concerts and forums, created especially to celebrate the unique culture of a city that keeps delighting one and all.”
Some Enchanted Evening will be a celebration of the enduring power of music and theatre to move, inspire, and entertain. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the genre, this evening promises to be more than just a concert.
Some Enchanted Evening will be presented at Launceston’s Princess Theatre on Saturday 24 May 2025. Tickets now available at www.theatrenorth.com.au The 2025 Australian Musical Theatre Festival season will be announced on 2 December 2024. For more information, visit: www.amtf.org.au for details.
