Faulty Towers Performance on Mount Tamborine
Once, twice, three times the madness!

Experience trying to make Manuel understand what it is you want – even asking for an ‘ice bucket’ ends up in your being presented with a “nice bucket” – “Que”??? Everything that can go wrong will!! In fact they can best be described as organized chaos!!
Whatever you do, don’t miss this unique, thoroughly entertaining dinner experience! Where better than Jacques Manor Restaurant at Bungunyah Manor Resort on Tamborine Mountain!

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.
Saturday, 19th November, 2011 – 6.45 for 7.00pm. $65 pp, includes 3 course set menu and concert. Eagle’s Nest is BYO, please note there are no card facilities and please advise of special dietary requirements at time of booking.
