Opera In The Domain Returns In January
An exciting line up of some of Australia’s finest opera singers and musical talent will perform under the stars in Opera Australia’s annual Mazda Opera in the Domain.
Pack a picnic basket, gather a few friends, settle-in under the stars and be swept up by the soaring melodies of some of the world’s greatest music at this free, all-ages event.
Mazda Opera in the Domain is the ideal opportunity for first-time and seasoned opera- goers alike to experience the magic of opera, with highlights from the world’s most popular operas like Carmen, Turandot and La Traviata by opera’s most loved composers including Bizet, Puccini and Verdi. This event is free and no bookings are required.
Hosted by popular radio presenter Christopher Lawrence and Mazda Australia ambassador Rob Mills, the concert features the vocal talents of soprano Lorina Gore, mezzo-soprano Sian Pendry, baritone Michael Honeyman and tenor Diego Torre, with the Opera Australia Orchestra conducted by Tahu Matheson.
Other entertainment includes food and beverage stalls, a photo booth, an Instagram-worthy flower wall and ticket giveaways; the Mazda Garden Bar returns this year where Mazda owners can show their car key to receive a free mocktail.
