Max Riebl - The Great Pretender

Music • Contemporary
SA Premiere
A world class voice and virtuosic musicians seamlessly combine the worlds of alternative pop and masterful baroque. The result is pure, mesmerising and unforgettable.

The show combines brilliant and audacious interpretations of the songs of Elvis, Morrissey and Garland with some of Bach's greatest music and the result isn't fusion, it's chemistry. Max Riebl combines his mastery as a baroque countertenor with the power and authenticity of an emerging pop artist for a totally unique, profound performance.

"Breathtaking ... Max Riebl is an artist in every essence of the word" - Australian Stage.
