Are You Lonesome Tonight

Next date: Saturday, 26 April 2025 | 07:30 PM to 09:30 PM

- PACC presents an Opera Queensland production -

Are You Lonesome Tonight is Opera Queensland’s most ambitious regional tour in its 40-year history. Visiting more than 30 communities and travelling some 8,000 kilometres across Queensland in 2021, this show is coming now all the way to Cessnock.

With a cast of young Australian singers including Gabrielle Diaz, Marcus Corowa and Jonathan Hickey, Are You Lonesome Tonight features arias and songs by composers such as Puccini, Verdi, Slim Dusty and Dolly Parton, to name just a few.

Using the canvas of history - 400 years of opera and almost 100 years of Country - Are You Lonesome Tonight tells a story about love, yearning and life on the road.

Come in your jeans and boots, or your tuxedos and ballgowns – this is opera that is diverse, accessible and exciting.
