Get ready for a performance of classical elegance with a funky contemporary twist…
Laura’s feature act caters for the masses by combining some of the world’s most famous arias such as O mio babbino caro, The Laughing Song and Porgi Amor with modern songs from popular artists such as Radiohead, Nick Cave and Kate Bush performed with her own new interpretation. She can also add to her performance spirituals (My Lord What a Morning), musical theatre (I Dreamed a Dream), and popera (Time to say goodbye).
Depending on your event, Laura can provide themed collections of pieces or let you pick and chose from any of her collections.
