Opera Bites: Opera in the Pub – Drinking Songs
1 September @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST

Opera . . . in a pub? You heard right! Opera Bites brings best-loved opera hits to the relaxed atmosphere of your local pub.
From rustic inns to effervescent and glamourous parties, the world of opera is full of drinking songs! Although, often when we’re singing about drinking in opera, we’re actually singing about something else entirely – love, loss, revenge, loneliness, having a bit of fun or a good time. What better place, therefore, to explore these catchy tunes than the pub! Come and join in your favourite drinking songs from La traviata, Carmen, Die Fledermaus and more.
Early bookings are highly recommended as our Opera in the Pub events regularly sell out.
