After visiting more than 30 communities and travelling some 8,000 kilometres across Queensland, the acclaimed celebration of Opera and Country music makes its way to South Australia as part of a highly anticipated National Tour.
Pairing Opera and Country music is not a gimmick; the two genres have a great deal in common. Artists, composers and librettists across both artforms understand the power of storytelling, and feature many common themes of profound love, heartache, and triumph in the face of adversity.
With a cast of young Australian singers, 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.
