 These ingredients ensured the success of 'Opera in the Alps’ held in the grounds of La Trobe University, Beechworth on 22 January.
'You could not have had a more perfect combination to ensure a memorable event,’ said Beechworth campus Director, Ian Burke.
A crowd of more than 4,000 heard opera classics and popular songs from diva Marina Prior, tenor David Hobson and young performer, Jacob Cunningham.
They were backed by a youth orchestra conducted by Tommy Tycho and a 90-voice choir.
Staged by Autralian Music Events, Opera in the Alps is held annually at La Trobe’s Beechworth campus. The event began nine years ago when 150 people attended the inaugural performance at Mt Buffalo Chalet.
