Champagne, a harp, Rossini, a DJ, Donizetti and a waterfall…no, this is not an eclectic game of charades but OperaQ’s Cloud Song!
Last night, Sunday 30 August, hundreds of audience members were delighted with incredible performances by OperaQ favourites Jason Barry-Smith, Katie Stenzel, Sam Hartley, Monique Latemore, Virgilio Marino and Sean Andrews, DJ sets by Dr. Toby Gifford and Cloudland’s exquisite canapés and beverages.
