Sumi Jo Tours With José Carbó
The internationally celebrated Grammy-award winning coloratura soprano Sumi Jo returns to Australia this July for a series of unmissable concerts in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
In this concert titled Mad for Love, Sumi Jo, one of the world’s greatest exponents of bel canto, will perform a magnificent program of music joined on stage for the first time by Argentine-Australian baritone José Carbó.
With over 50 recordings to her credit Sumi Jo is one of the highest selling classical singers in the world, and one of the most sought-after sopranos of her generation. Her concerts have delighted audiences globally, including performances at the Summer and Winter Olympics, and for the Pope. Legendary maestro Herbert von Karajan describes Jo as having ‘a voice from above’.
José Carbó, born in Argentina to Spanish and Italian parents, has become one of Australia’s most popular baritones, touring locally and internationally with Opera Australia, Victorian Opera and Los Angeles Opera since 2005. His debut album My Latin Heart debuted at no.1 in the Limelight Magazine Classical charts.
Sumi Jo and José Carbó will sing pieces from opera and operetta, as well as tango, and traditional folk song from Jo’s native Korea.
Sumi Jo and José Carbó will be accompanied by one of Australia’s most popular pianists, Guy Noble, who will also conduct the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
