Ave Maria Anthony Callea at Carols By Candlelight
Anthony Callea (who was then playing Boq in Wicked, Melbourne) and The National Boys' Choir of Australia sing Ave Maria at Vision Australia's Carols By Candlelight, Melbourne, Christmas Eve 2008.
The evening is an established Australian Christmas tradition organised by Vision Australia, which raises funds for and supports people with low vision. Entertainers work for nothing, it's always televised live and is one of the biggest broadcasts of its kind in the world.
Ave Maria! Maiden mild!
O listen to a maiden's prayer!
For thou canst hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair.
We slumber safely 'til the morrow,
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled;
O maiden! see a maiden's sorrow -
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
