Jane Rutter

2 September, 12pm - 1.30pm
The Concourse Concert Hall

Jane Rutter, John Martin, Pacific Opera Soloists

Jane Rutter, Pacific Opera Studio Soloists, pianist John Martin and special surprise guest in a radiant celebration of avian-inspired music, exploring the timeless harmony between nature and art. The program soars through exquisite arias, refined songs, and luminous instrumental works that capture the beauty and vitality of birds in flight.

From the playful charm of Papageno’s arias in Mozart’s The Magic Flute to the serene lyricism of Handel’s Il Pensieroso (Sweet Bird), the concert reflects the many voices of birdsong in music. Highlights include Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark, Delibes’ The Nightingale, and Rossini’s La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie).

Musical theatre favourites — Green Finch and Linnet Bird, Feed the Birds, and It Might As Well Be Spring — add warmth and grace, while Jane Rutter’s expressive flute soars through Vivaldi’s Il Gardellino and Saint-Saëns’ The Swan.

An afternoon of elegance and imagination, this concert celebrates melody, flight, and the natural world in perfect harmony.
