We have secured Robert Barbaro tenor, with a singing career that includes winning the prestigious Opera Society Vocal Scholarship through the Dame Nellie Melba Opera Trust.
Robert, as well as singing with Opera Australia in Madame Butterfly and AIDA, is also a performer with the internationally acclaimed The Ten Tenors. He recently returned from a North America tour with The Ten Tenors and is looking forward to future engagements with the group, including an upcoming European Tour. Robert has performed in numerous operatic roles throughout Australia, his highlight was his moving portrayal of idol Mario Lanza in the national tour of Mario Lanza- The Loveliest Night of the Year. We will be asking him to sing a couple of Mario Lanza songs for this particular concert.
