Uma Dobia: Crowns and Coloratura: A Night in the Operatic Stratosphere
9 May @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

Join soprano Uma Dobia for a dazzling night of arias inspired by the QUEENS of opera.
Uma is a versatile and dynamic performer, acclaimed for her work across opera and cabaret. She has been praised for her “jewelled singing” (Arts Review), described as “a force to be reckoned with” (HoopLA), and noted for “unparalleled talent and charm” (ArtsHub).
This special event will feature selections from Offenbach, Britten, and Dove, alongside the beloved and stratospheric Queen of the Night arias from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Uma will be joined by guests Maestro Raymond Lawrence (piano), Stephen Marsh (baritone), Daniel Szesiong Todd (tenor), and Maria Woolford (mezzo-soprano).
Come and delight with Uma and friends in this glittering evening of powerful storytelling, technical brilliance, and operatic drama… a night truly fit for a Queen!
