Multi-award-winning songstress and phenomenal performer Katherine Jenkins is singing her way back to New Zealand this May 2020, performing two intimate shows happening at Christchurch's Isaac Theatre Royal and Auckland Town Hall - Great Hall. The shows were originally scheduled in November but have been rescheduled for May. Meanwhile, the Australian shows—which will see her delighting audiences at Perth's Riverside Theatre, Melbourne's Palais Theatre, Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Sydney's State Theatre and Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC)—will still go ahead later this year.
This is a long awaited return for this much celebrated artist who was last seen in New Zealand with Plácido Domingo performing arena shows in 2011. "When I performed in Christchurch in 2011 with Placido Domingo, I always said I would return to see the city rebuilt and in a stronger place," says Katherine Jenkins. "I already feel emotional and excited at the thought of singing there in November and meeting the incredibly inspirational people who helped put on the charity concert those years ago."
