Wyndham Estate Winery, Hunter Valley, New South Wales
Saturday 15 October 2011 7pm
Imagine relaxing in the vineyards at sunset, sipping a glass of fine Hunter red and listening to the soaring voice of one of the world's greatest singers...
Well, prepare to treat yourself as the Good Weekend Opera in the Vineyards welcomes legendary opera diva, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, to the 16th anniversary of its much-loved annual feast of opera, food and, of course, wine!
Dame Kiri gained legendary status almost overnight after her sensational debut as the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1971. Since then she has sung on the great opera stages of the world, performed for royalty and top celebrities and inspired generations of opera singers around the globe.
Dame Kiri says, “I am very excited to be performing at Opera in the Vineyards and singing all my favourites by Puccini, Strauss and Handel, plus a few songs from Broadway. Hearing this magnificent music in a relaxed, open-air setting is the perfect way to spend a spring evening.”
Concert Promoter Paul Chesher is thrilled to be presenting one of the true stars of the opera world in such a stunning venue, the historic and award winning Wyndham Estate Winery in the Hunter Valley.
“This will be a really special and sublime concert event,” he says. “I urge people to book early to avoid missing out on this rare opportunity to hear one of the world’s great and beloved voices in this breathtaking setting.”
Arrive early to indulge in fine local wines and gourmet treats at a food and wine fair, and then take your seats for the vineyards event of the year! What better way to experience this beautiful music than under the stars on the banks of the Hunter River?
