Welcome to Gippsland Opera

Gippsland Opera are proud to  announce that OPERA BY THE LAKES returns Sunday March 19 2023

Each and every year we have presented Opera By The Lakes. It has been a totally sold out, with COVID that came to an end, much to the disappointment of thousands of patrons, from far and wide. OBTL has always attracted audiences from all over Australia.  It has the reputation of bringing down first-class singers, and musicians, a stunning location, with views to take your breath away over the Gippsland Lakes, which set the scene for a perfect afternoon’s entertainment.  

First class organization makes this event a success, including delicious, boxed lunches, with a glass of wine.  Plenty of places in this beautiful 167-hectare national park to also B.Y.O. picnic.   Or simply find a viewing platform to enjoy watching the sea eagles soar on thermal currents. Do not forget your cameras, it is that sort of venue. 

With performers such as Teddy Tahu Rhodes, David Hobson, Alexandra Lewis, that amazing quartet of singers the Idea of North, Sylvie Paladino, Marina Prior, tenor Shanul Sharma, coloratura soprano Georgia Wilkinson, Nathan Lay, Jeremy Kleeman, Olivia Cranwell, Madeleine Crombie, flautist Jane Rutter, who charmed the birds from the trees.

2023 will likewise have a line up not to be missed, will release that information when confirmed.
