A breathtaking performance of song and story recounting one woman’s early motherhood journey. Theatrical soprano Anna-Lee Robertson is joined by pianist Mark Jones for her latest one-woman show, After Birth.
In After Birth, Anna-Lee Robertson fearlessly submits her personal life for analysis as she sets sail on a humorous, poignant navigation of parenthood and the nature of love. Offering meditations on the modern family struggles of kid-wrangling; relationship maintenance; self-care; the limits of hospitality and the boundless capacity of the human heart, Robertson's inimitable wit and wisdom provide the perfect counterpoint to her extraordinary genre-bending curation of music.
Spanning old and new worlds of Broadway, opera, cabaret, and art song, Robertson shines as a remarkable interpreter and storyteller. Sharing her consummate instrument - rich in emotion, flush with colour, and sparkling with agility – her gilded voice reaches deep into your soul and plucks at your heartstrings. Her breathtaking capacity to translate music in the most profound way is a treat to the senses, leading the audience along a musical journey both tender and exhilarating.
Our Afternoon Delights Season includes afternoon tea with your ticket.
