Set Fire to the Brass

Expect familiar melodies, unexpected turns, and a celebration of jazz. For two nights only, Set Fire to the Brass brings a two-part show to The Opera House. First on stage, say ‘Hello’ to Kiwi vocalist Joanna Darling. She gives English singer-songwriter Adele’s songs a lush, jazz-infused edge. She’ll give full-hearted renditions of hits like Rolling in the Deep and Skyfall. The show is powered by skillful homegrown local musicians. They'll weave improvisational solos through a set of well-loved jazz standards. 

Joanna has performed in musicals, cabarets, and as a soloist on international cruise lines. She combines a powerful vocal belt with piano and guitar.  Expect a concert filled with the emotional depth of Adele’s lyrics with the warmth of live jazz.
