Opera singer flies from England to perform with his wife
Bass-baritone Rodney Earl Clarke will travel from England to perform with his wife Opera in the Arboretum at Pearl Beach on March 11.
Rodney Earl Clarke will be singing with his wife mezzo-soprano Louise Callinan as well as soprano Lorina Gore and tenor John Longmuir.
Artistic director Ms Michaele Archer said: "We are so happy to be able to coordinate with Rodney and Louise's travel plans.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for our event and audience to hear these beautiful international singers."
Ms Archer asked Rodney Earl Clarke what it was like having two singers in the family?
She said he replied it was "mostly harmonious accord as we practise duets together".
"It is wonderful but we work in very different ways and support each other nonetheless.
"We do our best to inspire each other and show our passion for music to our son."
She said he was looking forward to singing amongst nature to an appreciative audience "in the heat".
"What's not to like?"
The event will be performed in the open air at Crommelin Native Arboretum in Pearl Beach amongst the native trees and kookaburras, she said.
Opera in the Arboretum was a charity event hosted by the Rotary Club of Woy Woy.
This year's recipients will include the Umina Surf Lifesaving Club, Beyond Blue, Central Coast Conservatorium and other Rotary charities.
