REUNITED
IN CELEBRATION OF FIFTEEN YEARS OF ACOCO ON STAGE
SAT AUG 10
MELBOURNE RECITAL CENTRE
AN EVENING WITH
STACEY ALLEAUME & HADLEIGH ADAMS
with COADY GREEN
hosted by ELLY VARRENTI
In celebration of fifteen years since ACOCO's first staged production, two very special ACOCO artists returned to Melbourne for an exclusive performance and insight into the burgeoning international careers.
In 2009, STACEY ALLEAUME and HADLEIGH ADAMS were inaugural young artists with ACOCO, performing together as Pamina and Papageno in The Magic Flute at the National Theatre.
Now, they are international mid-career artists, singing leading roles on world stages: across the USA, Italy, Holland, Vienna, Wales, Middle East and Germany.
To commemorate this 15-year juncture, and their individual and ACOCO's ongoing success, Stacey and Hadleigh reunited for an intimate showcase of their recent repertoire.
They shared anecdotes about their journeys to mid-career, and their rise to international artist status. Each performed their own choice of arias, ranging from bel canto to modern pieces.
