Opera Ball
Sunday 18 May 18:00
Come in your riding boots and ballgown and be ready for a gala like no other.
An evening of fine dining, sublime singing and dancing set among the coolibah tree-lined Thomson River at Smithy’s Camp. This relaxed, yet stylish gathering embodies the spirit and iconography of the Outback with just enough glitz to ensure the evening is a memorable one.
Atmospheric lighting sets the mood as some of Australia's finest singers deliver a series of opera favourites throughout the 4-course meal, each perfectly paired to the culinary offering. After dessert, the dancefloor opens with an upbeat DJ set and you're invited to continue the celebrations as the bar remains open while you dance the night away.
Looking for something extra special? Start the evening with an optional train ride or Sunset River Cruise to make the most of your Festival of Outback Opera experience in Longreach. Smithy's Sunset Cruise is available at an extra charge and must be selected when you choose your seat/s in the booking process. The Sunset Cruise starts at 16:30.
