What's On

The Yarra Valley Opera Festival is back this October, with a stellar international line-up.

Across 10 days and five events, you'll see the best and worst of humanity expressed as heart-stopping, awe-inspiring opera.

The Enchanted Pig - a delightful fairy-tale English opera with hilarious twists and turns, ravishing tunes and a story for all ages. International director Gale Edwards AM teams up with Oscar-winning costume designer Tim Chappel (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) for this Australian premiere.

Poppea - a new look at an old opera that dives deep into a hedonistic and decadent world of power, sex, tragedy... and gaslighting.

Macbeth - a contemporary and electric take on the Shakespearean classic that holds a mirror to world politics. Co-produced by Gertrude Opera and New York-based Monk Parrots, with two-time Grammy-nominated bass-baritone John Marcus Bindel in the lead role.

A Very Very Very Short History of Opera - a romp through 400+ years of opera in less than 90 minutes. Enter with open ears and leave with an expanded mind and full heart.

Held in an intimate 250-seat pop-up theatre, you'll be surrounded by the rustic charm of a working farm at Olinda Yering.

Feast on gourmet meals and wine by local makers and be bussed to and from the Yarra Valley for this unique festival - the first of its kind in Australia, just 50 minutes from Melbourne. 

You'll be engaged, be moved and ultimately, be transformed. 

This is opera, reimagined.
