Subscribe to QPAC: atqp.ac/2FJwAjX
Brisbane born Jason Barry-Smith is an operatic baritone. He is a regular guest on QPAC stages performing with Opera Queensland and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra amongst many others. In this special performance introduced by QPAC Producer Paul Dellit, Jason sings a few of his favourite songs.
Franz Lehár - You are my heart's delight (from The Land of Smiles)
This beautiful song is perhaps the most famous example of what became known as a ‘Tauberlied’ - a song specifically written to highlight the vocal qualities of Lehar’s close friend tenor Richard Tauber who performed the lead role in numerous productions of Lehar operettas.
Gilbert & Sullivan - When I Was a Lad (from HMS Pinafore)
This popular classic features Sir Joseph describing his meteoric rise to the position of First Lord of the Admiralty, despite having never seen a ship.
Cole Porter - The Tale of the Oyster (from Fifty Million Frenchmen)
This witty number from the 1929 Broadway hit musical sends up high society with the tale of a ‘bivalve social climber’.
Jason Barry-Smith is a graduate of the Queensland Conservatorium. His professional experience embraces opera, concerts and musical comedy.
