Sarah Blasko and the Sydney International Orchestra
A shimmering, richly textured journey featuring an entire symphony orchestra.
Overview
The Sydney Opera House's contemporary music program is all about breaking down barriers. Once upon a time the Concert Hall was pretty much exclusively dedicated to the classical genre, but these days the likes of Paul Kelly, Sharon Jones and Nick Cave can be found gracing the stage.
Later this month, Sarah Blasko will make her Opera House debut when she and the Sydney International Orchestra perform her boundary-obliterating fourth album, I Awake. Blasko has never been one to rest on her creative laurels and her new LP is no exception. Last year, she travelled to Sweden and Bulgaria, where she hooked up with the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra to record twelve tracks. Featuring rich string arrangements and a vocal performance that producer/musician Robert Cranny has described as her recorded "best", I Awake has been inspiring four and five star reviews from the critics.
If you're under twenty or hold a Healthcare card, you can book a standing room ticket for just $20 (Note: these tickets are only available in person at the Sydney Opera House Box Office – you can't buy them online).
