Winter heralds return of Opera at Jimbour
DESCRIBED as a Queensland Institution, Opera at Jimbour will return to the historic grounds on July 27.
Each year thousands of people flock from across the state to celebrate music, culture and local produce at Jimbour House Estate.
In celebration of Queensland Music Festival’s 20th year, the 2019 event will deliver a new Gala program of opera favourites from some of Australia’s biggest stars including internationally celebrated tenor Rosario La Spina, soprano Sarah Crane and mezzo soprano Hayley Sugars.
The event also welcomes renowned conductor Vanessa Scammell and Queensland opera favourite Jason Barry-Smith as the event’s MC and director.
“We are incredibly proud of our Opera at Jimbour program and are positive that both long-time patrons of the event and newcomers will be delighted with this year’s event changes and line-up of opera classics,” QMF Artistic Director Katie Noonan said.
“Music is for everyone and our carefully curated gala will be a world-class showcase of opera in one of the most picturesque settings imaginable.”
The gala promises to not only bring opera to Western Queensland, but to bring Western Queensland to the Opera a country experience with a classical twist.
