Daytime Concert Series –
Razzle Dazzle -- National Tour
Presented by Operatunity.
Glitz, glamour, energy and movement are on the
menu this month, with the award-winning Daytime Concert
Series’ latest offering “Razzle Dazzle” a showcase of
songs that will take you on a journey of the modern
musicals.
Some of the
classics to be performed include Singin’ in the Rain; I
have a dream; There’s Nothing Like a Dame, Master of the
House from Les Miserables, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by the
Andrew Sisters and so many more.
Razzle Dazzle features some of the best loved tunes of all time presented by John Cameron with Alex Wiltshire on piano and guest artists: Tizane McEvoy, Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua, Tamsyn Miller and Scot Hall.
Alex Wiltshire, our pianist for this tour, brings a wide range of talent and unique experience to this fantastic team of performers. Alex was one of the first women in New Zealand to work as a professional conductor, having studied with the late Juan Matteucci. She spent 16 years overseas where she worked for several major theatrical companies including Cameron Mackintosh Productions, The Really Useful Company (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Production Company) and the Victorian State Opera Company.
Since her return to NZ she has worked in various capacities including conductor, vocal coach, keyboardist and repetiteur and appears with The Daytime Concert Series on a regular basis. We are constantly overwhelmed with praise and accolades on Alex’s incredible playing and singing!
The Daytime Concert Series is presented by Operatunity, a company which presents over 200 concerts per year in 24 venues throughout New Zealand. From its humble beginnings 11 years ago The Daytime Concert Series has gained an enviable position in the calendar of tens of thousands of concert goers throughout New Zealand who enjoy the experience that Operatunity offers of professional quality shows with some light hearted fun and laughter mixed in.
The Daytime Concert Series has become the largest employer of professional singers and artists of its type in New Zealand and has an exceptional young artist programme which mentors and develops the incredible talent which New Zealand continues to produce.
Eight concert series are presented every year in the variety daytime series, an eclectic mixture of shows ranging, this year, from the Great Hits of the 60’s and 70's, to Razzle Dazzle and The Best of the Classics.
