Sinclair's Gully Presents 'Phantom in the Forest'. Sinclair's Gully, South Australia's leading eco tourism venue brings you a unique outdoor musical experience. Featuring coloratura soprano Kathryn Snape and set against the majestic candlebark gums of Sinclair's Gully, the evening promises to showcase some of your favourite classical musical pieces in one of Adelaide's most spectacular natural settings. Sean explains "The idea for this show came about after listening to Kathryn_x0019_ s performance at our Adelaide Fringe Festival Twilight Tasting Performance. The audience reaction to her performance was amazing. A spontaneous, honest and emotional outpouring of appreciation and recognition of her talent. It was like watching and hearing Susan Boyle the first time. I guess I shouldn_x0019_ t have been surprised as Kathryn is classically trained and has been performing since she was 5." Sean went on to say "It was then we saw the opportunity to better link the power of Kathryn's performance with the majestic beauty of Sinclair's Gully. The ancient candlebarks not only form a beautiful back drop but also add to the presence and drama of the performance allowing the listener to immerse themselves in the music." The performance includes such favourites as "Music of the Night", "Memory" and "Nessun Dorma". A night to immerse yourself in the moment, as the power of the performance melds with the beauty of the setting to create a memorable experience. Don_x0019_ t miss it.
