Due to overwhelming demand, a second Melbourne show will be added to Elvis, The Wonder Of You Australian tour – the additional show will take place on Thursday 8th June.
Hot off the back of the No 1 UK debut for The Wonder Of You album, Elvis Presley has broken the all-time Official Albums Chart record with the 13th Number 1 after almost 40 years of his passing. This all-time new record marks the most No. 1 albums achieved by any solo artist in the UK ever and sees The King continue to make history for his second collection of orchestral re-workings of hits.
Australian audiences should prepare themselves to experience what will be a triumphant celebration of Elvis Presley™ and his music, in a way that many have never before. Music fans will be totallyimmersed in the world of Elvis and once again, be captivated by the man who changed the course of popular music, in this world-class concert event. This is the closest that many Australian Elvis fans will get to see The King Elvis perform live. Elvis Presley is the highest selling solo artist in history (having sold an astonishing one billion records worldwide) and this concert spectacular, The Wonder Of You will feature the most recognizable voice of all time with a full symphony orchestra live on stage performing the King of Rock and Roll’s™ most well-known hit songs and his tender, heart-wrenching ballads.
Following the 2015 release of the worldwide #1 Sony Music Legacy Recordings album, If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, comes this thrilling announcement. It will feature Elvis Presley on state of the art screens, specially designed for this arena tour and backed by a full 40 piece symphony orchestra for a national arena tour of Australia in 2017. Chong Lim, one of Australia’s foremost musical directors, will lead the orchestra into a stunning live performance. These multiple concert dates will follow hot on the heels of a sold out arena tour in the United Kingdom in November 2016 and recently announced European arena shows in 2017, which are selling fast.
Priscilla Presley commented, “What an honor for us to be able to produce a live concert experience that evolved out of what has become a very prestigious and beloved album backed by a full and rich symphony orchestra.” Actress, producer, author and entrepreneur Priscilla Presley was instrumental in turning Graceland into a world-renowned attraction and Elvis Presley Enterprises into a highly successful entertainment, licensing and merchandising organization.
These Australian shows will be a musical celebration of the legend
for whom superlatives weren’t enough, and who continues to break records.
The Wonder Of You, live in concert, is produced by Elvis Presley Enterprises & RCM Touring Productions.
