The Ten Sopranos Mamma Mia The Concert
Please note that this event has been postponed until April 13th at 7:00pm. Cost $54.45 concession ticket.
Please make your own bookings. There are plenty of seats available at present but they will sell fast.
Mamma Mia the Concert is a masterful and stimulating performance of the ABBA repertoire never before seen in Australia. This is a memorable concert which has new vocal and symphonic harmonies, where the glorious melodies are re-invigorated and given new life.
The Ten Sopranos, considered to be the most powerful all-female group in Australia, bring you a concert of epic proportions. The songs of Benny and Bjorn have never sounded so full and Lucious.
This show will have you singing, clapping, and stomping from beginning to end. The Ten Sopranos deliver the number one vocal interpretation of the ABBA songs on Earth.
Artistic and Musical director Penny Pavlakis (Internationally acclaimed and multi-award-winner known to her peers as “The Singers’ Singer” who has over 1000 performances on the world Opera and contemporary stage, brings to the stage star power, very few people can) along with The Sopranos, showcase their supreme talents to Australian audiences paying homage to the magnificent songs of Benny and Bjorn in a unique and exciting way. This is a feel-good concert you will not want to miss!
