The Premiere Event Of This Year’s Holiday Season, “CHRISTMAS WITH THE KING”, starring Gino Monopoli

Christmas was Elvis Presley’s favourite time of year and carols and gospel music held a special place in his heart. In his annual Christmas show “Christmas With The King”, world-famous tribute artist Gino Monopoli, captures the essence of what Elvis was all about. For Elvis, being with family and friends, enjoying the uplifting songs of the season, as well as songs from his own repertoire, was a happy, relaxing time. Even superstars enjoy being home for the holidays. Gino Monopoli’s popular Christmas show is a fun-filled mix of popular and traditional music, in the spirit of Elvis at home in Graceland.

We were prompted to bring Gino back to Perth for a second time this year by the tremendous response to his sold-out June show here. We also wanted to offer something different than the standard type of Christmas concert seen year after year the world over. And a glowing newspaper article about Gino’s 2013 Christmas show in Smiths Falls made our decision to bring him back an easy one.

Even though our December 20th show comes just a few days after he returns from an exhausting tour of Australia, Gino has kindly agreed to postpone a scheduled vacation in order to be here with us. So we are especially pleased to bring this wonderful, family-friendly show to you, just in time for Christmas.
