George Benson at Sydney Opera House
Last night I went to my first ever concert at the Sydney Opera House to watch George Benson. He was such an amazing and talented performer starting off the set with a tribute to his hero – Nat King Cole. Playing to a full house, this was Benson’s first visit to the Sydney Opera House with three nights of sold out concerts. As he crooned to Mona Lisa, When I fall in Love and many other classic Nat King Cole songs – the crowd started dancing in their seats. With the backing of members of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, it brought a completely different sound to the jazz hero.

Once he completed the first set, it was time for the Benson party! The winner of 10 Grammys launched into his record breaking single: Masquarade and the crowd jumped to their feet. It was time to dispense with propriety at the Opera House and boogie with the multi-talented jazz, soul, r&b great. For one night, the Opera House became the Party House.
As we left the concert hall, we were all dancing and pumped with Benson magic and filled with positive, feel good vibes. What an awesome, awesome night!
