Internationally celebrated Grammy-award winning coloratura soprano, Sumi Jo, returns to Australia this July for a series of unmissable concerts in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.


One of the world’s greatest exponents of bel canto (beautiful singing), Sumi Jo, will perform in a thrilling program entitled Mad for Love.
Together with José Carbó, the much-loved Argentinian-born baritone, and accompanied by acclaimed pianist Guy Noble, Sumi Jo will ignite the stage with renditions of the most passionate repertoire from opera and operetta to canzoni, tangos, and meltingly beautiful folk songs from her native Korea.
With over 50 recordings to her credit Sumi Jo is the highest selling classical singer in the world, and one of the most sought-after sopranos of her generation. Her concerts have delighted audiences globally, including performances at the Summer and Winter Olympics, and for the Pope.
Described by the legendary maestro Herbert von Karajan as having “a voice from above”, Sumi Jo is one of the most in demand singers on the international stage.
