Description
A celebration of country music and opera.
Opera Queensland presents Are You Lonesome Tonight, supported by Maranoa Regional Council and hosted at Western Queensland Spirit.
Are You Lonesome Tonight is Opera Queensland's most ambitious regional tour in its 40-year history. Visiting more than 30 communities and travelling some 8,000 kilometres across Queensland in 2021, this show is coming now all the way to Roma.
With a cast of young Australian singers including Gabrielle Diaz, Marcus Corowa and Jonathan Hickey, Are You Lonesome Tonight features arias and songs by composers such as Puccini, Verdi, Slim Dusty and Dolly Parton, to name just a few.
Come in your jeans and boots or your tuxedos and ballgowns – this is opera that is diverse, accessible and exciting.
Why not make a full day of it! Join us at Western Queensland Spirit for our Mother’s Day Brunch. Bookings essential.
Maranoa Regional Council kindly supports this free performance of Are You Lonesome Tonight. The National Tour of Are You Lonesome Tonight is supported by Creative Australia through the Playing Australia Fund and Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
