Opera in the Gardens 2024
A “Classique” note to this year’s Opera in the Gardens
Brisbane’s popular outdoor benefit concert is back 28 April 2024
Known to millions around the world as the “Angel of Australia”, Mirusia will grace the stage this year as the headline act at the Rotary Opera in the Gardens 2024 event.
The concert will start at 2pm on Sunday 28 April at the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, Brisbane.
An international Soprano, Mirusia has been named Australia’s Number One Classical/Crossover artist and has also been affectionately dubbed “Australia’s songbird”.
Opera-goers will be treated to a powerhouse performance of Opera, Operetta and Broadway favourites featuring songs and arias from Mirusia’s new album, Classique, released in February 2024.
The concert will also feature songs from such classics as Magic Flute, Tales of Hoffman, Pearl Fishers, La Traviata, Carmen, The Merry Widow, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, The Sound of Music and Pirates of the Penzance and more.
Mirusia will be joined on stage by Queensland Baritone Lionel Theunissen, Mezzo-Soprano Diva Kathryn Bradbury and former Ten Tenor, Roger Davy.
Presented by Vavachi Enternatiment and 4MBS Thursday Night Opera, the concert will be staged on the outdoor bandstand amongst 56 hectares of Queensland’s premier subtropical botanic gardens.
Gourmet hampers are available to pre-purchase and pick up at the event. Concert goers are welcome to bring their own refreshments.
So, don’t miss this chance to sit back and enjoy a relaxing picnic in the gardens while listening to operatic voices supported by live string players, Violin and Cello, as well as pianist Matt Rolf, MD, as the official accompanist.
Also making a return by popular demand, will be Rhonda Davidson-Irwin and Viva La Musica Voices and Children’s Choir.
