Atherton to host special opera
OPERA will come to Atherton for the first time in 15 years next week as Opera Queensland brings some of most recognisable music on the road.
The performance of Bravo will be staged at Atherton Performing Arts theatre on Silo Road on Monday 26 October.
The concert brings together much-loved music by Puccini, Verdi, Mozart, Brizet and more.
Created for seasoned opera lovers and first-time audiences alike, the program features melodies many people will instantly recognise even if they do not yet know the operas from which they come.
Bravo stars current and former Opera Queensland young artists Nick Kirkup, Lachlann Lawton, and Maddie Stephens, alongside Western Australian artist Chelsea Burns, accompanied by renowned pianist Beverley Kennedy.
Warm and engaging introductions throughout the concert will reveal the stories, characters, and composers behind the music, offering audiences an entertaining introduction to the extraordinary world of opera.
Presented with warmth and humour, Bravo is a guaranteed cloud pleaser for audiences of all ages and levels of familiarity with opera.
The regional tour reflects Opera Queensland’s ongoing commitment to bringing world-class music to communities throughout Queensland.
The Arts Council Tablelands Incorporated (TACTIC) is presenting this Opera Queensland performance in Atherton from 7pm on 26 October.
