Are You Lonesome Tonight by Opera Queensland

Are You Lonesome Tonight is a unique celebration of country music and opera, featuring arias and songs by Puccini, Verdi, Slim Dusty, Troy Cassar-Daly and Dolly Parton. Join us for an unforgettable night of music – by the finale, you’ll be on your feet cheering for more!

Opera Queensland’s cast of young Australian singers will perform with soaring harmonies, masterful musicianship, and an irresistible energy. The result? A foot-stomping, heart-stirring performance that bridges two musical worlds in a way that feels fresh, exciting, and downright fun.

Returning for a third season, Are You Lonesome Tonight is Opera Queensland’s most successful regional tour in its 40-year history. Visiting more than 30 communities and travelling some 8,000 kilometres across Queensland in 2021, and visiting 21 communities on Opera Queensland’s inaugural national tour in 2025, this show is coming back to select locations in 2026, including an appearance at CPAC.

Come in your jeans and boots or your tuxedos and ballgowns, this is opera like you’ve never seen it before – bold, adventurous, and full of heart.

The Regional Tour of Are You Lonesome Tonight is supported by Creative Australia and Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
