On April 24 in 1942, Barbra Streisand was born in New York City. Who knew then that she would go on to be one of the most successful artists of all time. With a career spanning more than 60 years, Streisand is responsible for a whopping 50 studio albums. Not to mention her work on stage and in film, which has made her one of the few stars to hold an EGOT (an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award).
This April, the MSO is celebrating the 80th birthday of Barbra Streisand with To Barbra, with Love. The special concert features some of Streisand's best-known songs as performed by some of Australia's own powerhouse voices such as Katie Noonan, Caroline O'Connor (Chicago, West Side Story), Elise McCann (Merrily We Roll Along, Matilda) and Ryan Gonzalez (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Jersey Boys).
To Barbra, with Love is conducted by Vanessa Scammell with direction from Cameron Mitchell. Come expecting a spectacular performance spanning Streisand's top songs including 'Guilty', 'Evergreen', 'Send in the Clowns' and 'No More Tears'.
See To Barbra, with Love at Hamer Hall from April 21 to 23. Tickets are available now.
