Stopera is a concert of great show tunes from the musicals of Broadway's golden age.
Stopera singers Rebecca Collins, Rachael Duncan, Rohan Thatcher and pianist, local woman Vivienne Winther, as they perform an entertaining program of hits from famous musicals, with up tempo ensembles, romantic ballads and torch songs all in the mix.
Ms Winther, who holds the roles of Stopera's artistic director and director of Macquarie Conservatorium, said the hardest part of the concert was choosing what made it into the program.
"The four of us had so many favourites on the 'must-do' list that it was quite a battle," she said.
The excerpts are taken from more than 30 years of memorable Broadway premieres, and include well-loved tunes like Some Enchanted Evening, People Will Say We're In love and Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better.
Soprano Rachael Duncan said the chosen music was gorgeous by Broadway legends, Rodgers and Hammerstein, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Kurt Weill.
Stopera goes to Broadway in this concert of classic hits from Oklahoma, South Pacific, The King and I, Porgy and Bess, Guys and Dolls and more.
The Australian Capital Territory Chamber Opera company Stopera has created sold-out performances for the National Gallery of Australia, the National Multicultural Festival and the Canberra International Chamber Music Festival.
Singers Rebecca Collins, Rachael Duncan and Rohan Thatcher have performed with Opera Australia, Oz Opera, Opera Queensland and internationally in the UK, Germany and America.
