Tickets for the first Opera in the Hangar are now on sale. Featuring 18 singers, a seven-piece chamber orchestra under the direction of celebrated conductor Guy Noble and with the Scots School Pipes and Drums, the event will take over the Uiver restoration hangar on the evening of Saturday, March 18.

In an aviation-themed night, guests will be treated to wine and canapes in the “business lounge” before taking their seats for a unique operatic “flight”, created by Opera Scholars Australia which had produced the annual Opera in the Alps until it was grounded by the COVID pandemic.

Replacing the Beechworth event in 2023 will be the boutique concert in the Uiver hangar at the Albury airport with the partly restored Uiver DC-2 memorial aircraft as a stage backdrop. Tickets, at $179, are available online at Eventbrite.

With seating limited to 400, tickets are expected to sell out quickly.
