Each May, Queensland’s vast outback becomes the stage for one of Australia’s most breathtaking cultural experiences. Presented by Opera Queensland, the Festival of Outback Opera brings world-class singers and musicians to the heart of the state’s Central West, with unforgettable open-air concerts in Longreach and Winton. Against a backdrop of blazing sunsets and star-filled skies, audiences are treated to powerful performances that celebrate both the grandeur of opera and the rugged beauty of the landscape. Frock up for the Gala or head to the pub for a casual singalong. Gather under the stars for Dark Sky Serenade or enjoy an afternoon of beautiful voices and delicious local food at the Long Lunch. Visitors can explore historic towns, meet welcoming locals and discover the region’s rich heritage. It’s an experience that connects art, nature and community in truly spectacular fashion.
