Opera in the Arboretum returns this weekend

The 2020 Opera at Pearl Beach.

The Pearl Beach Arboretum will come alive this weekend with ‘Opera in the Arboretum’.

The performance will be held on Saturday, March 12 from 3pm till 5:30pm.

President of the Rotary Club of Woy Woy, Julie Jones, said guests are invited to bring a chair, a drink and some nibbles as they sit back and are “transported by the voices of such talented performers in this amazing setting.

“This event will see the beautiful Arboretum at Pearl Beach come alive with music courtesy of Sopranos Jane Ede and Clarissa Spata, Tenor Rosario La Spina and Baritone José Carbó,” Jones said.

“These amazing voices will be supported by the talented young players from the Central Coast Chamber Orchestra.

“It is an all-weather event … Council have given us all the all-clear for the grounds to be used – fingers crossed the rain stays off!”

Jones said proceeds from the event will go towards various charities supported by the Rotary club, including donations to Umina and Ocean Beach Surf Clubs and a scholarship to the Conservatorium.

Tickets range from $40 to $85, with children under 12 free.
