The stars begin to twinkle as daylight fades, and the picnic blankets are spread with good fare. From the stage, the sound of the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra fills the night, and some of the most famous arias are performed under the stars.

On a summer evening, relax and bask in the power of the human voice.

Bars and stalls will be available on site to purchase food and drinks.
