David Hobson in Concert

David Hobson, one of Australia’s leading singers and performers, will take to the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall stage on Friday 21 and Sunday 23 November in a lavish production, accompanied by his own band and orchestra with musical direction from Chong Lim (Dancing With the Stars, It Takes Two).

These exclusive concerts give audiences the opportunity to hear David perform songs from his new CD, A Little Closer, including Without You, Nights in White Satin, Fields of Gold, Have I Told You Lately, plus favourites from his classical repertoire.

David Hobson is one of Australia’s best known operatic and contemporary performers. He
grew up in country Victoria and as a youngster sang in church choirs and local musicals,
fronted rock and jazz bands and wrote music.

He first came to critics’ attention with his award-winning portrayal of Rodolfo in La Bohème, and has managed to switch effortlessly between opera, pop and rock. He became a favourite with television audiences after appearing on Channel 7’s Dancing with the Stars and winning two series of It Takes Two.

David has won numerous awards including Operatic Performer of the Year, The Age Performing Arts Award for Best Performer in Opera, Sydney Critics Circle Award and an ARIA Award.

He is also an award-winning composer with notable film scores to his credit including the soundtrack to One Perfect Day which was named Best Music Score by the Film Critics Circle. David’s album The Promise reached No 1 on the ARIA classical charts.
