The next show in my Classic Concert Series is from Sydney, 1986. Three weeks after this show, I was booked in to have throat surgery and was worried I would never sing again. Well, if that was to be the case, I was going to go out on a high! The outfits Bob Mackie designed for me were typically fabulous and I’m incredibly proud of how well Bernie and my songs translated to being performed with the 88-piece Melbourne Sydney Orchestra.
