The Bass Valley Music Festival committee is very excited to announce that the legendary John O’May will lead a stellar cast in an evening of light Oopera and songs from popular musical theatre at its next event.
Serenade at Sunset is a regional event held in Bass Coast and is inspired by the mega success of Opera in the Alps.
“We bring high quality, affordable entertainment to our region,” said committee member Helen Zervopoulos.
The 2014 concert will be held on Saturday 15 February from 4.30pm to 8.30pm at The Gurdies Winery. Just over an hour from Melbourne, The Gurdies hamlet is one of Victoria’s remaining unspoilt and undiscovered coastal locations.
Set high in the Bass hinterland with majestic views over Western Port, the area is also the location for some of Victoria’s finest boutique wineries.
“We are indeed fortunate to have someone of the calibre of John O’May to perform at our event.
“He is widely acclaimed for his musical talent both nationally and internationally,” Helen said.
The headline act will also feature Anton Berezin, Theresa Borge and Lisa Parker who have appeared in a large number of productions internationally, including Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Les Miserables.
Local artist Kate Amos, who has recently returned from performing in Europe, will be back by popular demand and the delightful local artist, Lucy Najm, will also be making her debut with the supporting act.
Serenade at Sunset also gives the young and hugely talented Rising Stars an opportunity to perform with professional singers and musicians where they can showcase and hone their musical talent before a large audience.
“The Rising Stars have always been a popular item in the programme,” Helen said.
