Sarah Blasko to perform modern arias
Sarah will be performing modern interpretations of European arias atop a ship-like stage, as part of a newly commissioned work, Laid In Earth.
The piece – which explores the early cultural exchanges between Europeans and Indigenous Australians - has been arranged by contemporary classical composer Damian Barbeler and is a translation of various iconic arias into English laid over an abstract musical background.
Taking the stage with Blasko will be Emma-Louise, Daniel Rojas and Kurrawong, along with community singers from Hope Vale, Rossville and Cooktown.
Laid In Earth is on at Endeavour Park in Cooktown, on Saturday August 1.
