One of Australia’s most cherished musicians, David Helfgott, is set to return to the breathtaking Sydney Opera House Concert Hall this October with a special performance of popular romantic works for piano.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of SHINE, the film that catapulted Helfgott to worldwide fame. In a poignant celebration of the film’s anniversary, Helfgott will once again grace the stage of the Sydney Opera House for this incredible once-off solo concert.

A matinee recital for piano lovers of all ages, the concert will feature Helfgott’s selection of much-loved romantic classics including Beethoven’s ‘Appassionata’ Sonata No. 23 in F Minor, Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 in G Minor and a number of selections from Liszt.

Widely regarded as a national treasure, Helfgott has performed in over 37 countries to sell-out audiences and this year, returns to Australia following another highly successful tour of Europe. Performing internationally to critical acclaim, Helfgott will once again charm and enchant Sydneysiders with his passionate musical interpretations and triumphant personal story.

29th October, 2pm at the Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House.
