Join us for an unforgettable evening as we present "Appassionata", a captivating opera event that promises to stir the soul and ignite the senses. This extraordinary performance will feature the luminous talents of Gina Sanders, Felicity Tomkins, and Ridge Ponini, whose powerful and evocative voices will bring to life the timeless works of Mozart, Puccini, Handel, Cole Porter, Beethoven, and more.

Accompanying the vocalists will be the masterful sounds of Josh Helm on the violoncello and Kay Shacklock on the piano. As Gina Sanders so eloquently expresses, "The beauty, power, drama, and joy of the classical voice are complemented so perfectly by the closest instrument to the human voice… the violoncello. Music to move even the coldest of hearts, to cheer the saddest of souls, and uplift the darkest of moods."

Tickets are $135 per person and include bubbles on arrival and a delectable two-course meal crafted by our new Pavilion Head Chef. Choose between Beef Eye Fillet, Fish of the Day, or Pan-Fried Halloumi as your main course, followed by a choice of Limoncello Cheesecake or Sticky Date Pudding for dessert.

Prepare to be enchanted by an evening where the classical voice meets the soulful sound of the violoncello, creating a symphony of emotions that will resonate long after the final note is played. This is more than just a concert; it is an experience that will touch your heart and lift your spirit.

Tickets are limited, so be sure to secure yours today for a night of musical passion, fine dining, and elegance.
