Newcastle's own Madame Butterfly in recital


Musical Matinees presents a rare opportunity to hear our own Madame Butterfly, Dr Jennifer Barnes, in recital on Saturday May 21 at 2pm in St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Newcastle. 

Jennifer is a well-known Newcastle singer, teacher, choir and music director.  She has a superb soprano voice, which landed her the coveted role of Madame Butterfly as a principal artist with Opera Australia. She also performed in several other operas.

She will appear in Romance in Red, White and Blue with local pianist Ann O’Hearn in a recital of English, French and German songs on Saturday May 21 at 2pm in St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Newcastle. 

Georgia Hall will be the guest, young performer appearing as part of a new Musical Matinees Inc initiate to give young singers a chance to perform alongside professionals.

Complimentary, home-made refreshments after the concert provide the opportunity to meet with performers
