Opera in the Reservoir: Heroes and Villains

Overview

Spring Hill Reservoir is one of those Brisbane spaces that everyone really should've been to — but when you live in a city, rather than play tourist in one, it's easy to miss some of the regular must-see sights. Consider Opera in the Reservoir just the excuse you need to venture six metres below Albert Park, then. On the agenda: a night of arias and duets deep underneath Wickham Terrace.

The concept is all there in the name, and this is one of those events that owes an enormous debt to its location. Whether you're a seasoned opera lover or a first-timer, there's really nothing like watching a show in a heritage-listed subterranean space that's more than a century old — and in the middle of the city at that.

Underground Opera's latest season of Opera in the Reservoir shows runs from Friday, November 11–Sunday, November 20. This time, the focus is on heroes and villains.

Head along on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings, and Sunday matinee sessions, to to listen to a greatest hits tour of opera classics — all while spending time in the historical depths of Brissie.
