Ali McGregor @ The Butterfly Club
Ali McGregor joins The Butterfly Club’s line-up.
Fresh from La Clique and The Opera Burlesque, acclaimed soprano Ali McGregor and her autoharp enter the sometimes eerie world of the Midnight Lullaby. From Tom Waits to Hugo Wolf, Radiohead to Russian folk song, Ali will be joined by well known guests from the Melbourne comedy and music scene like Scott Edgar from Tripod, Martin Martini, Adam Hills and Captain Frodo.
Ali, a principal soprano at Opera Australia for more than five years, adds her classical experience to her flair for original interpretations of rock, pop and indie standards. Her version of Radiohead’s Creep was featured on ABC’s Spicks and Specks (of which she is now a regular panel member) and huge success at both Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals when she performed it as part of the sell-out Spiegeltent show La Clique.
