Joined by rising star, special guest singer Kristina McNamara and featuring songs such as "You Know Better Than I", "Wondering", and "Black Max", this unforgettable show is not to be missed! Award-winning Australian Opera Singer Adrian Tamburini started singing as a boy chorister from the age of 5. In a 20-year career that has taken him around the world, his singing has featured on cinema releases of opera, DVD, international recordings, motion picture soundtracks, radio, television (Woolworths Carols in the Domain) and Australian dramas including the soundtrack to "After the Deluge".

Adrian has had the honour of singing to audiences in every Australian state and territory including performing to two governor generals of Australia. A talented musician and pianist, he is equally at home performing jazz, cabaret, music theatre and classical music alike.
