Opera With The Stars Under The Stars
A fitting opening night of operatic proportions awaits all guests on the five star expedition cruise ship Orion in Broome for the 10 night Kimberley Expedition cruise to Darwin in late August 2008.
As a prelude to absorbing the visual drama of the spectacular Kimberley coast with its vast tidal changes, emerging reefs, swirling waters, thundering waterfalls and prolific marine life, Orion’s guests will be invited to Broome’s iconic OPERA UNDER THE STARS®, a highlight of Broome’s cultural events calendar.
Presented on a typically balmy Kimberley night, overlooking Cable Beach, famed for its fiery sunsets, the evening provides a delightful contrast of informality countered by the extraordinary voices of Australian opera singers who have received much critical acclaim for performances both at home and overseas.
The musical programme for 2007 featured music from the opera repertoire including the rousing Largo al factotum from Il barbiere di Sivilgia by Rossini, the sublime duet Au fond du temple saint from Les Pêcheur de Perles by Delibes, highlights from Puccini’s operas including the duet O soave fanciulla from La Bohème and the spine tingling aria Nessun dorma from Turandot, as well as the famous Brindisi from Verdi’s La Traviata. Programme details for 2008 yet to be announced.
Be it an impromptu glass of champagne on some remote sand bar, a seafood beach barbeque or an invitation to the opera, these are typical unexpected experiences Orion strives to provide guests on all Orion voyages.
10 nights Kimberley Expedition voyage, (29th August, 2008, departure only).
