Lake Redbrook will soon come alive with beautiful sounds when Opera By The Lake is held as part of Childers Festival 2019 on 27 July.

Bundaberg Regional Council community and cultural services portfolio spokesperson Cr Judy Peters said the event was always highly anticipated and was an enjoyable afternoon full of professional, musical talent amongst stunning scenery.
“This concert will be a special presentation of opera favourites performed by some of Opera Queensland's finest artists,” Cr Peters said.

“It truly is a spectacular and I urge anyone with a passion for music, or those wanting to do something a little different, to organise tickets.”
