[ Back to Top ] Classic Opera Kicks Off May Events
Co-Opera returns to Ipswich Civic Hall in May with the timeless classic "La Traviata". Based on the novel La Dame Aux Camellies Camellies by Alexander Dumas, this delightful opera tells the story of a father who disapproves of his son’s choice of a woman. He breaks up the relationship only to regret his actions when he discovers the woman truly is honourable and tragically dying. Rich in tunes that are familiar and toe-tapping, Co-Opera’s production of Verdi's famous opera is set in the 1950s against a glamorous backdrop of exotic parties with excesses of wine, love and living.
Friday 2 May - 7.30pm Later in MayThe modern day crooner returns to Ipswich with the classic songs of Bobby Darrin, Frank Sinatra, Cole Porter, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr in a spectacular two-hour live show. Featuring an incredible nine-piece swing band and David's trademark vocal energy, this is a concert no fan should miss.
A consortium of topline Australian comedians and international guests will be firing some mammoth jokes your way with punchlines that will blow you out the back of the room. Not recommended for children under 15 years.
Ireland's most famous and successful duo are back to delight Ipswich fans with their charismatic blending of easy listening and folk music. Mick Foster and Tony Allen have been performing together for almost 30 years and this will be their 15th trip down under.
