What's On

A Swingin' Bella Christmas 2025

ONE NIGHT ONLY
WEDNESDAY 17TH DECEMBER, 8PM
Elisabeth Murdoch Hall
MELBOURNE RECITAL CENTRE

Yes, for the 18th Bella Christmas, we're steppin' out on the town!

But what is A Swingin' Bella Christmas? Why, it's a finger-snappin', toe-tappin' romp through traditional carols, modern favourites and specially-written original songs of the season, executed with airy panache by a horn-laden bevy of brilliant performers known throughout the civilised world as the Bella All-Star Band! Out front, MCs Casey Bennetto & Geraldine Quinn and special guests sing, dance and otherwise navigate the musical joys and sorrows of the season.

This year, for one night only, A Swingin' Bella Christmas follows the shining star all the way to the biggest, fanciest stable it's ever had the privilege of occupying: the magnificent Elisabeth Murdoch Hall of the Melbourne Recital Centre.

Kings will be crowned. Biscuits will be praised. Donkeys will dance. Bells will jingle. Songs of the season will be sung. It's A Swingin' Bella Christmas, swingin' like never before.
