Puccini – The Passion and the Power – Dinner and Concert

Saturday 19th November, Eagle’s Nest comes alive to the music one of the most popular opera composers of all time. Giaccmo Puccini was an Italian composer whose operas, including La boheme, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Turandot, are among the most frequently performed in the standard repertoire. Some of his arias, such as ‘O Mio Mabbino Caro’ from Gianni Shicchi, “Che Geli da Manina” from La boheme, and “Nessun Dorma” from Turandot, have become part of popular culture.

Puccini was deservedly the leading operatic composer of his day – a period which was particularly rich in Opera, Operatta and Song. Tenor Glenn Lorimer makes a welcome return to Eagle’s Nest, joining Tania in presenting pot pourri of Songs, Arias and Duets from Puccini and his contemporaries including Verdi, Catalani, Ponchie1li, Tchaikovsky, Delibes and more.

Sit back with a good dinner, glass of wine, and good company, to be serenaded by the romantic and uplifting music of Puccini and his contemporaries in the unique setting of Eagle’s Nest, overlooking the stunning lights of the Gold Coast – experience the Passion and the Power.
