Amy Sherwin Comes Home

Thu 5 Nov 2026 7:00 pm
Studio Theatre

Amy Sherwin was the Taylor Swift of the 1880s. Amy, ‘the Tasmanian Nightingale’, grew up in the Huon Valley to be hailed as lead soprano at Covent Garden where she caused “a scene never to be forgotten” and received “a tremendous ovation”. In Sydney she was “spell-binding” and in New York “astonishing!” And then Amy was wiped from history.

Find out how. And, in this delightful documentary, see how Amy Sherwin has been returned to Hobart as Prima Donna Assoluta via a remarkable marble statue now in the CBD. 

All your queries answered: be there for the Q&A with Jane Longhurst, Michael Gissing and Bob Brown.

Don’t miss it - this will be the only showing of Amy Sherwin Comes Home to Hobart.
