Are You Lonesome Tonight - WINTON
Wednesday 14 May 18:30
Are You Lonesome Tonight, a celebration of opera and country music, will have its much-anticipated return to Festival of Outback Opera at the end of Opera Queensland's inaugural national tour.
Are You Lonesome Tonight was Opera Queensland's most successful regional tour in its 40-year history, visiting more than 30 communities and travelling some 8,000 kilometres in 2021.
With a cast of young Australian singers including Gabrielle Diaz, Marcus Corowa and Jonathan Hickey, Are You Lonesome Tonight features arias and songs by composers such as Puccini, Verdi, Slim Dusty and Dolly Parton, to name just a few.
The Dustarena is a unique space and a quintessential representation of Outback Queensland offering an extraordinary setting that embodies the spirit, architecture, and vibe of the Central West Region under the lights of the Milky Way.
Winton Shire Council kindly supports this free performance of Are You Lonesome Tonight. The National Tour of Are You Lonesome Tonight is supported by Creative Australia through the Playing Australia Fund and Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
