This July, experience the thrill of the Opera in the Upper House
starring the youthful, energetic and enchanting Brisbane City Opera.
Don't miss the magical new production brought to life by the future
legends of Australian opera supported by a chorus of burgeoning talent
from the Hillbrook Chorale.
Step back in time and be captivated by the splendour and history of
the Upper House, with ornate plaster coffered ceilings and walls
embellished with 22 carat gold leaf and two Waterford Crystal
chandeliers hanging overhead.
Formerly the site of the Legislative Council Chamber, it only makes
sense to bring to life themes of romance, betrayal, quarrels and
politics through an opera extravaganza.
ALL GUESTS ARE INVITED TO ENJOY DRINKS WITH THE PRESIDING OFFICERS
AND CLERK’S OF AUSTRALIA AND THE PACIFIC ON THE PRESIDENT'S VERANDAH
OVERLOOKING THE BOTANICAL GARDENS DURING INTERVAL.
Hosted by the Former Parliamentary Members’ Association Queensland
and raising money for Drug ARM Australasia this is a one-of-a-kind
event you don’t want to miss!
