Opera Australia’s annual free outdoor concert, Mazda Opera in the Domain will feature a selection of wonderful arias and overtures from works by opera’s greatest composers.

In the line-up are sopranos Lorina Gore and Daria Masiero, mezzo‐soprano Jacqueline Dark, tenor Bradley Daley and baritone Shane Lowrencev. They will be accompanied by the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra conducted by Brian Castles-Onion and ABC Classic FM’s Christopher Lawrence as the Master of Ceremonies.

A range of food and beverages will be available in the Domain from early afternoon to the end of the evening, or patrons can bring their own picnics. High chairs and beach umbrellas are not allowed and, to protect the lawn, plastic sheeting and ice are not permitted on the grass.
