Opera Ball
Sunday 16 May 2027 6:00pm
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 coolabah 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 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 Sunset River Cruise or Silverbullet Rail Experience to make the most of your Festival of Outback Opera experience in Longreach. Smithy’s Sunset Cruise and Rail Experience are available at an extra charge and must be selected in the booking process. Departure for the Sunset Cruise is at 3:45 pm from Longreach Railway Station, with the train scheduled to leave at 4:15 pm.
Please note, seat selection secures you a seat at your selected table. The seat position at the table may differ. Opera Queensland will contact you following your booking via email to confirm the names of all ticketed guests and their dietary requirements.
