| | Opera at Jimbour free EVENT
AN AFTERNOON OF STUNNING ENTERTAINMENT, BOUND TO DELIGHT SERIOUS OPERA AFICIONADOS AND FIRST-TIME AUDIENCE MEMBERS ALIKE.
Enjoy an afternoon of song, sunset and fine food at the triumphant return of Opera at Jimbour. Featuring a trio of opera stars singing the world's best-loved arias and Carl Orff's masterpiece Carmina Burana, it's not hard to see why Opera at Jimbour is an iconic event of QMF's program.
Since 2003, these outdoor performances have drawn huge audiences to heritage-listed Jimbour House on the Darling Downs. A record crowd of 8,500 turned out for the 2009 staging. More are expected in 2011.
This year’s program returns to the true essence of the Jimbour experience – classic opera and musical indulgence – and will be given full flight by the 180 piece combined Queensland Choir and Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of renowned conductor Warwick Potter. The concert’s first act will feature Australian opera greats – leading soprano Sara Macliver, outstanding bass baritone James Clayton and award-winning counter tenor Tobias Cole – performing a selection of popular arias chosen by the public.
The afternoon culminates in a spine-tingling rendition of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, the most popular choral work of the 20th century, famed for its rousing chorus, O Fortuna.
