With a charming hundred-year-old plane hangar as a backdrop, be immersed in beautiful music making as the sun sets behind the Qantas Founders Museum in Longreach. Music by composers from across the history of opera, including Handel, Verdi, and Puccini and some much-loved musical numbers from shows such as South Pacific, Fiddler on the Roof and My Fair Lady, will provide audiences with a concert of great range and variety.

With only 300 tickets available, this is a rare opportunity to encounter artists of this calibre in such a relaxed and intimate setting. 

Presented by Opera Queensland in association with Camerata - Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, the Festival of Outback Opera visits Winton, Longreach, Barcaldine, Blackall and Windorah from 19 to 27 May this year.

Internationally acclaimed singer Teddy Tahu Rhodes headlines Singing in the Night, one of the Festival’s main concerts. He is joined by Eva Kong, Xenia Puskarz Thomas, Kang Wang and Jason Barry-Smith.
