Elvis Presley The Wonder Of You 2017

Australian audiences should prepare themselves to experience what will be a triumphant celebration of Elvis Presley™ and his music, in a way that many have never before. Music fans will be totally immersed in the world of Elvis and once again, be captivated by the man who changed the course of popular music, in this world-class concert event. Elvis Presley is the highest selling solo artist in history (having sold an astonishing one billion records worldwide) and this concert spectacular, The Wonder Of You will feature the most recognizable voice of all time with a full symphony orchestra live on stage performing the King of Rock and Roll's™ most well-known hit songs and his tender, heart-wrenching ballads.

Following the 2015 release of the worldwide #1 Sony Music Legacy Recordings album, If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, comes this thrilling announcement. It will feature Elvis Presley on state of the art screens, specially designed for this arena tour and backed by a full 40 piece symphony orchestra for a national arena tour of Australia in 2017. Chong Lim, one of Australia's foremost musical directors, will lead the orchestra into a stunning live performance. These multiple concert dates will follow hot on the heels of a sold out arena tour in the United Kingdom in November 2016 and recently announced European arena shows in 2017, which are selling fast.

Priscilla Presley commented, "What an honor for us to be able to produce a live concert experience that evolved out of what has become a very prestigious and beloved album backed by a full and rich symphony orchestra." Actress, producer, author and entrepreneur Priscilla Presley was instrumental in turning Graceland into a world-renowned attraction and Elvis Presley Enterprises into a highly successful entertainment, licensing and merchandising organization.
