Before \u2018La Stupenda\u2019 came \u2018The Voice\u2019! Dame Nellie Melba was Australia\u2019s first singing sensation, and one of the most famous Australians of her day; idolised in the theatre, mobbed on the street and known by name in even the most remote corners of the country. \r
\r
Soprano Lorina Gore and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra salute Dame Nellie Melba, Australia\u2019s first singing sensation.\r
\r
Born in Richmond, Victoria, in 1861, Melba was the first Australian classical musician to receive major international recognition, following her operatic debut in Brussels in 1887. That first appearance (as Gilda in Rigoletto) was described by a famous German critic as 'an instant triumph of the most emphatic kind\u201d, and quickly led to debuts at Covent Garden, the Paris Opera and at New York\u2019s Metropolitan Opera.\r
\r
One of the undoubted stars of the \u2018Golden Age of Opera\u2019 in the mid-to-late 19th century, Melba is also familiar to Australians through the dishes named after her \u2013 most famously the Peach Melba, but also Melba toast \u2013 and she also features on the Australian $100 banknote. \r
\r
Lorina Gore is a Helpmann and Green Room Award-winning soprano and has been a principal artist with Opera Australia since 2008. Her most recent credits include performing Musetta in La boh\xe8me at the Hanoi Opera in Vietnam, Roxana in Szymanowski\u2019s King Roger for Opera Australia, and her critically acclaimed performance as Ophelia in Brett Dean\u2019s Hamlet at the 2018 Adelaide Festival.\r
\r
A Toast to Melba sees Lorina reunite with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and Marko Letonja, their Chief Conductor and Artistic Director, following the success of their collaboration on a disc of Johann Strauss: Waltzes and Arias, released on ABC Classics in 2016.
