The Ozitalian Choir will perform at one of the most important cultural events on the South Australian 2026 musical calendar. The singing sensation from Italy, Katia Crocè, is touring Australia in February 2026. She will perform her cabaret style show in Adelaide on Sunday 22 February at the South Australian Italian Association venue at 262 Carrington St, Adelaide. This much anticipated concert begins at 3:00pm and will be opened by the amazing Ozitalian Community Choir, the premier Italian musical group in South Australia that sings the greatest opera and popular romantic Italian songs of all time. Ozitalian will appear with their esteemed conductor, il maestro Mario Bellanova, accompanied by virtuoso pianist Daniel Cheung, and the entire ensemble group of the Ozitalian choir. The Ozitalian performance will also include South Australia’s exciting new tenor, Mr Francesco Chiarello, who will perform to the delight of the crowd.
Katia Crocè is a very popular musical artist from Italy and the Adelaide concert will see her recreate the magic of the Italian songs we grew up with and are most adored by Italians in Australia. These are the songs that are most requested on the Italian radio stations in Australia, and the songs whose artists shaped generations of Italian immigrants and their children and grandchildren who grew up in Australia.
