Overview
Show a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T and head to the one-night-only Aretha — Love Letter to the Queen of Soul at QPAC's Concert Hall this winter. On Tuesday, June 20, there'll be one big show packed full of the extraordinary star's powerful hits.
This special event will showcase Aretha Franklin's wide-ranging vocal talents and her timeless anthems. A diverse multigenerational cast will perform 32 of the Queen's songs, and is guaranteed to have you dancing in your seat and singing along to iconic tunes like 'Respect' and '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman'.
The stellar cast includes Montaigne, the ARIA-nominated Emma Donovan, Thndo, Thandi Phoenix and Ursula Yovich.
The show is both narrated and directed by Jada Alberts, who weaves in the stories of the artist's public success and personal struggles — which ultimately paved the way for other female and soul artists to make their own mark on the world.
This event is a spectacular opportunity to hear of the beginning of Franklin's life. It'll take you from her gospel roots and rising fame all the way to reaching worldwide recognition. Her talents earned her many accolades, including 18 Grammy Awards and the title of Rolling Stone's 'Greatest Singer of All Time'. She's also sold over 75-million records.
