We welcome renowned singer Paul Gulinello and Soprani Vanessa West for an evening of classics on stage on the lawn to serenade and enchant us with a large repertoire of music set to delight!
By creatively blending modern and contemporary music, Paul Gulinello’s career has showcased a passion for Italian, Neapolitan, folk, and operatic styles. His passion for well-known arias and other classics is always on full-display during every one of his breathtaking performances. Fluent in both speech and song in five different languages, his aptitude and immense love of Italian songs, Operatic Aria’s and English favorites enable him to captivate the imagination of an audience. Accepting the role as Jose Carreras in the renowned Australian tribute to the Three Tenors was just one of the many performances that have left audiences moved beyond words, with their post-concert reviews as simply “breathtaking”.
Vanessa West is a Melbourne-born lyric soprano and Puccini specialist who made her international debut in Florence with L’estate Fiesolana—performing as Liù in Turandot and Flora in La Traviata. On the Australian stage, she has brought to life iconic roles with Melbourne Opera, including Gilda (Rigoletto), Cio-Cio-San (Madama Butterfly), Fiordiligi (Così fan tutte), and Donna Anna (Don Giovanni). Recently, she returned to the spotlight as Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana and appeared in Pagliacci at Maleny in June 2025.
