Don't forget!!! Paulini will be performing the Messiah at the Adelaide Festival Theatre on
Friday 14 December at 8pm and Saturday 15 December at 8pm.
Last year's article is reprinted below! – looks like I can't get there after all!!
Okay, it may be a year away yet, but it's worth giving plenty of advanced notice of this little gem.
If you live in Adelaide (like Paulinisman
) you are truly blessed! Paulini has been booked to appear late next year at the Adelaide Festival Theatre as one of the two lead vocalists in a special production of Handel's: The Messiah. The Messiah will be performed on two nights in December as part of the 2007 Adelaide Symphony Orchestra programme. Paulini will be joining a stellar line-up including the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, James Morrison on trumpet and Doug Parkinson as the male vocalist.
I might even have to book myself a ticket to Adelaide for this. Paulini's versatility knows no bounds!
Mark it in your calendar guys! This one's gonna be AWESOME!!
Details below are taken from the ASO website where you can book seasonal or concert tickets for the show.

The ASO will be ‘too hot to Handel’ with its funky and contemporary makeover of the much loved oratorio. Inspired by Quincy Jones’s Grammy Award Winning Handel’s Messiah: A Soulful Celebration, the concert will incorporate an array of musical influences from classical and gospel to jazz and blues.
The ASO, leading choir and iconic performers ‘Australian Idol’s diva’ Paulini, James Morrison and Doug ‘the soul man’ Parkinson will breathe new life into the Messiah in a stage spectacular. Audiences will be spellbound by the harmonious fever of Messiah classics including Comfort Ye My People, Behold the Lamb and the ever famous Hallelujah Chorus.
Be among those to be captured by the sheer power and originality of the ASO in Gospel Messiah – an uplifting night of music for your spirit—not to be missed!
