To Barbra, With Love

To Barbra, With Love celebrates the music of the inimitable Barbra Streisand, performed live on the Concert Hall stage by Camerata - Queensland's Chamber Orchestra, for 2 shows only on February 3 and 4, 2023.

The critically-acclaimed concert, which premiered earlier this year at Melbourne's Hamer Hall, features two of Australia's hottest musical theatre talents - Elise McCann (Matilda The Musical, Merrily We Roll Along) and Ryan Gonzalez (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Jersey Boys), joined on stage by Australian musical theatre royalty Caroline O’Connor and Brisbane-born, genre-hopping vocalist Katie Noonan.

Under the baton of Vanessa Scammell, the Camerata orchestra will deliver a program of Streisand’s most memorable songs, arranged by conductor and composer Nicholas Buc , and directed by one of Australia’s most versatile choreographers and exciting new directors, Cameron Mitchell. 

Celebrating her 80th birthday this year, Streisand is one of the best-selling female artists of all time, with an unparalleled career spanning six decades. The singer's record-breaking 52 gold and 31 platinum albums feature some of the world’s most loved songs from The Way We Were and Evergreen to Send in the Clowns, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers and Guilty.

Streisand is a multi-award-winning performer, director and producer of stage and screen, and one of only a few elite artists to hold the rare EGOT (Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar and Tony). She has worked with legendary composers including Alan and Marilyn Bergman and the late great Stephen Sondheim, whose combined catalogues of memorable compositions are timeless treasures of the canon.
