Opera Evening - Whangamata Summer Festival

Bring in 2011 on January 1st with the Garden Opera Company on stage in Williamson Park, at the Whangamata Summer Festival.

The Garden Opera Company is a calendar favourite for locals and visitors alike. We don't get to see much Opera in the Coromandel so it is good that a solid crowd always attends. Ian & Sally Campbell run a tight well rehearsed group of very talented singers - most of whom are en-route to the NZ Opera School which begins on January 3. It is our pleasure to host this talented bunch of artists, they always please the crowds with favourites from operas, musicals and variations to well loved songs. Bring a blanket and a low chair - even a picnic (but don't forget the liquor ban!).

Please note: A public liquor ban will be enforced throughout the holiday period.

Free concerts nightly from December 28th 2010. The artists will be on stage at Williamson Park from 8pm. The Whangamata Summer Festival is run by a not for profit community group who fund raise all year round, in order to provide a focus for youth, young families, locals, holiday makers and the elderly, by staging night time concerts, volleyball competitions, skate competitions, a kids' holiday programme and a huge craft market day. This evening's music is the 5th night of a six night programme with a wide range of musical genres - something for everyone's taste!

Entertainment for the Whangamata Summer Festival week is proudly brought to you by NZCT, the Lion Foundation, Southern Trust, The Whangamata Community Board, Trust Waikato, Coca-Cola, Pitcher Electrical Whangamata, Whangamata Wellness, Take Note Whangamata, Whangamata Signs, plus many volunteers and community members without whom, it could not be a free event. Our volunteers will be out selling glowsticks each night to add to the lively atmosphere, so support the Festival by supporting our sponsors and get 'glowed up'! Tonight we will bring buckets around for donations to help stage this event.
