Read reviews of our performances

“We hosted “From Figaro to Phantom” by Pot-Pourri as part of our Daytime Music and Theatre series at the Frankston Arts Centre, and our audience had a fabulous and warm reaction to the show. The performance was a delightful mix of song and storytelling interspersed with some humour and comedy… a classic and nostalgic variety show which was thoroughly entertaining. Our audience were connected and engaged, and the team were a delight to deal with before, during and after the show. Highly recommend.”

Heidi Irvine, Frankston Arts Centre

“Pot-Pourri’s production of ‘An Enchanted Morning from Opera to Broadway’ had the sell-out Karralyka audience wanting more! The magnificent voices of the cast, along with the fabulous selection of songs had our audience singing along and reliving some of their favourite Broadway moments. Highly recommended!”

“Sublime musicality is what Pot-Pourri is all about: their voices, the evergreen songs they choose and their pianist are all world class. Pot-Pourri harmonies are spine-tinglingly glorious to hear and they are beautiful and inspiring. Their show is a joyous thing to experience!”

“It was so special to have Pot-Pourri provide the entertainment for our 40th wedding anniversary. It was a total surprise for all our guests. Tania, Rebecca, Jon, Jonathan and Rosa were so enthusiastic and are to be recommended. Their talent and professionalism, the way they blend comedy and opera and their extensive repertoire left us speechless. It was a very memorable afternoon indeed.The standing ovation and feedback from our guests left us in no doubt that they will always have lasting and very fond memories of Pot-Pourri.”

“Pot-Pourri are to opera what Andre Rieu is to classical music. Totally brilliant and funny all in one! Made us laugh and cry.”

Sue Williams

“We have booked talented Australian ensemble Pot-Pourri for a tour in Korea and for an Olympic Gala performance at the Seoul Arts Centre. Audiences loved the unique blend of classical and Broadway music, beautiful voices and comedy and interaction. The artists even learnt some Korean and Korean songs and won the hearts of the audience with their warmth and special magic. The group were very cooperative and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with them in the future and highly recommend their productions for venues and festivals anywhere in the world.”

CREDIA, Korea

“They’ve built their reputation on an ability to present their bubbly mix of opera and music theatre numbers facing sell-out shows in venues ranging from the Melbourne Concert Hall and ballrooms in mansions to hotels, ski lodges and vineyards. Pot-Pourri’s versatility is their greatest strength.”

“As event coordinator for the ANZFTA I have organised many conferences over the last 15 years but never have I come across such a unique and professional performance. Thank you so much for making our event such a memorable success. You had our audience captivated and enthralled and mystified with the fabulous performance of Pot-Pourri. We could not get enough of your performance and this was shown through the encore performance that you and your team received. The lively music, wholesome humour and thought-provoking lyrics delivered by Pot-Pourri offered something for every age and taste. I would strongly recommend Pot-Pourri to any organisation wanting a WOW factor as part of their evening.”

“We were delighted that Pot Pourri were able to celebrate and perform at my parent’s 70th wedding anniversary. Those present were completely entranced by the performance and we have only received accolades from all. Such descriptions as “perfect” and “best party ever” were indicative of the reactions. I know my parents were extremely thrilled and “blown away” by Pot Pourri’s appearance. Many thanks to all who were part of the presentation.”
