“The Unconventional Pop Star” and “The Angel of Australia” are two phrases that have been used to describe soprano sensation Mirusia. She was the youngest ever winner of the Dame Joan Sutherland Opera Award and has toured extensively with show-stopping violinist André Rieu. Together, they released the album Waltzing Matilda, which went platinum and to number 1 on the ARIA charts.
Mirusia releases Classique, her first purely classical album of arias, on February 23. In this program, Mirusia previews the album and shares a few tracks. She also talks about the journey to her remarkable career, plus we hear the inside story of working with André Rieu.
