Beautiful music, beautiful voices, beautiful setting.
Following an enforced break due to COVID, 'Opera in the Arboretum' is back, and the 2024 performance will be our 17th, and one of our best yet productions.
This year’s program features a number of amazing artists performing some of opera’s most celebrated showstoppers – Nessun dorma, The Doll Song, Lakmé duet, Pearl Fishers’ duet and a bracket from Verdi’s Rigoletto. There is also a Neapolitan Song theme flowing throughout.
The event is supported by the wonderful young players from the Central Coast Chamber Orchestra conducted by Patrick Brennan.
