It’s been 40 years since the inaugural concert of the mighty WurliTzer here at the Capri theatre and we plan to celebrate in style. We have a whole year of exciting concerts planned and below we launch the events for the first half of the year.
Brett Kavanagh & Debbie Fitzsummons…at the Cinema!
SUNDAY 26TH FEBRUARY, 2PM
Brett and Debbie are coming to The Capri in February 2023 with our biggest line-up ever of music from the screen, as well as some epic music which has underscored great cinematic moments.
From sci-fi to fantasy, drama to musicals to animation, Ennio Morricone to Paul Williams, there will be something for all ages from two of Australia’s top theatre pipe organ performers.
Brett and Debbie have wowed audiences in Brisbane and the Gold Coast with their musicianship and fun personalities. Debbie performed in Adelaide five years ago in a very successful Christmas concert, while it will be Brett’s first performance at the Capri Theatre, having previously played duets with Tony Fenelon at the Perth Convention in 2018.
