Opera at arboretum
Opera in the Arboretum will be held on Saturday, March 24, from 3pm until 5.30pm at the Pearl Beach Crommelin Native Arboretum.
It is an open air festival of top Australian opera singers, held amongst the gum trees and kookaburras.
The event is in its seventh year and is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Woy Woy.
The Opera provides a cultural event on the Central Coast and presents the talents of some of Australia's most respected opera performers, said coordinator Mr John Greenway.
All proceeds are returned to the local community and Rotary charities.
"Opera in the Arboretum has become one of the Central Coast's premier cultural experiences attracting up to 800 plus patrons, with an intoxicating mix of opera and music," said Mr Greenway.
Artist performers are Milijana Nikolic (mezzo soprano), Ariya Sawadivong (soprano), Rosario La Spina (tenor), David Parkin (bass), Jem Harding (piano) and the Central Coast Conservatorium Senior String Orchestra.
