Prepare to experience ABBA like never before when Fernando: The Music of ABBA Orchestrated transforms the iconic Swedish pop group’s greatest hits into a breathtaking symphonic event at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on October 31, 2025.
This lavish production combines the 30-piece Southern Cross Symphony with a world-class band and four powerhouse vocalists – including West End/Broadway star Deone Zanotto (Mamma Mia!) and magnetic showman John O’Hara (Rocky Horror Show) – to recreate ABBA’s timeless catalog on an unprecedented scale.
Audiences will hear symphonic arrangements of classics like ‘Dancing Queen,’ ‘Waterloo,’ and ‘The Winner Takes It All’ that honor the original recordings while adding orchestral grandeur.
Helmed by acclaimed director Tyran Parke and musical director Daniel Puckey (Hamilton, Hadestown), the concert promises to be both a visual and sonic feast.
With tickets on sale July 3, fans can secure their seats for what promises to be the ultimate ABBA experience – where pop meets symphony in spectacular fashion.
