Brisbane Bel Canto Festival

In 2025, Opera Queensland’s Brisbane Bel Canto festival returns! For a second year, OQ will continue exploring the many wonders of the art of beautiful singing. This program covers music from the beginnings of operatic song in Italy to a song cycle composed in Australia over the past few years, a celebration of song in all its many forms. Alongside the highly anticipated headliner, La Cenerentola, next year’s program features a dynamic array of events: The Birth of Bel Canto – In association with One Equal Music Long Lunch with culinary icon Stefano de Pieri Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle Red Dirt Hymns by Andrew Ford
