As the sun sets over Lake Redbrook, the sounds of David De Vito and The Leading Men will take over to entertain guests as part of the popular Opera by the Lake event.
Featured as part of the Childers Festival program, the event will be hosted on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with guests treated to live music in a relaxed setting overlooking Lake Redbrook.
Local refreshments and wines will be served on site for guests to enjoy, setting the scene for a wonderful afternoon ahead of a busy festival day on Sunday.
Council’s Arts, Culture and Events portfolio spokesperson Cr John Learmonth said this event was a great lead up to the festival day, encouraging people to book their ticket and sit back and relax.
“It is not every day you can witness the banks of Lake Redbrook transform into a beautiful, picnic styled affair for Opera by the Lake,” Cr Learmonth said.
“It is fantastic to see a number of local businesses come together to bring this event to life including Lake Redbrook Holiday Retreat and local wineries.”
The two-hour performance will showcase a fusion of musical genres featuring the beautiful operatic sounds of David De Vito combined with the musical stylings of The Leading Men as they pay homage to musical theatre and superb Broadway shows to the delight of the crowd.
David De Vito
Direct from the Australia’s Got Talent grand final stage, David De Vito is set to take his music to his Australian supporters.
A classically trained pianist, the prodigious son of an opera singer father and a lover of 80’s big-hair metal, the vocal virtuoso has lived a life blessed with music.
Combining his eclectic talents and tastes, David creates music that not only captures the power of his voice but also transcends genre with its blend of classical and contemporary sounds.
The Leading Men
The Leading Men are made up of some of the biggest names in Australian music theatre and are famous for incorporating the great Broadway showstoppers with a touch of ‘Il Divo’, promising enjoyment, sophistication and class.
A premier collection of some of the finest voices gracing Australia’s stages today, this unique combination of performers have all played lead roles in major musicals throughout Australasia.
