In July, the MSO and friends encouraged you to give the Performance of a Lifetime; to get vaccinated so we could back to what we do best. To those of you who have rolled up your sleeves and given us a chance to return to the stage, this one’s for you!
Joining the Orchestra will be an all-star line-up of singers and performers from across the city’s theatres, playhouses and band rooms coming together to celebrate the return of live music and the arts in Melbourne. We are thrilled to share the spotlight with so many artists, most of whom will be making their MSO debuts. Show tunes, soul tunes, ballads and rock’n’roll under the stars – everything we have all missed for so long.
200 tickets for each performance will be donated to Victorian frontline workers. We cannot thank you enough for the extraordinary lengths you have gone to over these past two years to ensure our community can reunite and share the experience of live music.
