Prepare to be enchanted by 'Opera in the Valley,' a captivating evening of opera and community set to grace Jamberoo on Saturday 4 November. Renowned Maestro Glenn Amer, known for consistently curating exceptional talent, presents this year's stellar line-up of opera stars.

Ian Warwick, a classically trained baritone, boasts a versatile portfolio as a director, writer, and designer. In 2017, he served as an associate director for Pacific Opera’s Young Artist program. Notably, he featured in the cabaret 'Grotesque and Arabesque' and conceived, produced, and starred in 'Make Believe,' a tribute show paying homage to MGM stars Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel.

Pamela Andrews, an accomplished soprano, boasts a wealth of experience as a performer and recitalist. Her impressive resume includes solo appearances with numerous orchestras and choirs across Australia. Having previously been a Young Artist with Pacific Opera, Pamela now graces the stage full-time as a soprano with the Opera Australia Chorus.

Matthew Reardon, a tenor with a Master's degree in Opera from The Wales International Academy of Voice in Cardiff, made his mark with a debut in the ground-breaking Indigenous opera 'Pecan Summer.' He has since toured with Opera Australia, lending his voice to productions like 'Madame Butterfly,' 'Carmen,' 'La Boheme,' and 'The Bartered Bride.' Most recently, Matthew delivered a captivating tenor solo in The Verdi Requiem at the Adelaide Festival, in a co-production with the Zurich Opera and Ballet.

Viktoria Bolinina, a versatile Australian mezzo-soprano, excels as both a classical and pop crossover singer, composer, and recording artist. Her journey, including a successful stint on The Voice Australia, has taken her across stages in Australia and internationally, including Singapore and Belarus. In recognition of her charitable contributions to the Russian community in Australia, Viktoria was honoured with the Citizen of the Year badge on Australia Day in 2022.
