Hobson, known for leading Carols By Candlelight in Melbourne and Sydney, has worked with Anthony Warlow and the San Francisco Opera, and sung the national anthem for the AFL Grand Final.
Exclusive to his hometown show will be performances by cellist Karoline Kuti and violinists Atilla Kuti and Zachary Johnston.
Hobson was “hawking” a rock opera at the Victorian Arts Centre in the eighties when a producer for Victoria State Opera heard him and put him up for the role of Frederic in the Broadway version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance.
Musical director David Cameron will also provide accompaniment on piano, sitar and guitar.
An Intimate Evening with David Hobson is on Friday, May 26 at 7.30pm.
