A stellar line up of Australia’s finest opera singers and musical talents will gather under the stars on Saturday 13 January 2018 to perform at Opera Australia’s annual Mazda Opera in the Domain.

Attracting a record crowd of more than 24,000 people earlier this year, Mazda Opera in the Domain is proving to be the ultimate Sydney summer experience.

Hosted by popular radio presenter Christopher Lawrence and Mazda Australia ambassador Rob Mills, the concert features the vocal talents of decorated soprano Lorina Gore, stunning mezzosoprano Sian Pendry, commanding baritone Michael Honeyman and magnificent tenor Diego Torre, with the Opera Australia Orchestra under the baton of Tahu Matheson.

This year, Michael Honeyman and Sian Pendry shone as Amonasro and Amneris in Griffith Opera on the Beach – Aida, Lorina Gore was captivating as the leading lady in La Traviata, and Diego Torre treated audiences to a powerful performance as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly.
