The magical music of Disney on stage

SPEND A Day with Disney in concert, when Ballarat Lyric Theatre brings the iconic songs to life on the Civic Hall Stage.

Showcasing 20 local vocalists and a 20-piece orchestra, audiences may recognise Ballarat performers like Gareth Grainger, Bronte Wright and Callan Lewis.

Lyric’s President, Michael Whitehead said the recognisable music of Frozen, The Lion King, Aladdin, Moana, Tangled and more will have a broad school holiday appeal.

“While the music is from the kids’ movies, our cast of musicians will make the most of what are beautiful, high quality pieces,” he said.

“It gives us an opportunity to put some of our principal cast of Les Misérables on stage, and at the same time entertain both the kids and the parents.

“The kids because of the content and the parents because of the quality.”

With plenty of room allocated for audience singing and dancing, Lyric is looking forward to performing in a different space.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to see what the Civic Hall can do and showcase it to the community as a concert hall. It’s a beautiful space,” Mr Whitehead said.

Six shows will run beginning tonight, Thursday 26 September at 7pm, with two shows on Friday, two on Saturday and a final performance at 11.30am on Sunday 29 September.

Individual tickets are $25, a family of four is $80, or a group of 10 or more reduces the price per head to $20. Head to hermaj.com/events/lyricdisney for tickets and a full list of times.
