ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

This exhibition celebrates the 25 year journey and growth of Scenic Rim's own opera company Opera Eagle's Nest from small beginnings in the family restaurant Eagles Nest, to a touring company employing singers and musicians - both regional and emerging, and of national and international experience.

This exhibition captures the glamour of opera and broadway as it takes you on Opera Eagle's Nests amazing journey. It features stunning elaborate costumes, sets, videos, great wall of concert posters and much more, this exhibition pays tribute to the quality and creativity of Scenic Rim professional artists and related industries, including performers and musicians, AV technicians and dress/costume makers. It also highlights the importance of reimagining, reinventing and exploring possibilities of classical music to stay vital, viable and relevant in a changing world.

Opera Eagle's Nest has always been, and continues to be, a sociable creature, and is a company with the ability to 'reimagine' classical music and share classical music with a wider audience.

From early beginnings of 'Classics on Sunday' - high tea and music, to convivial Opera Eagle's Nest Dinner Concerts presenting Classical Music in evening dinner format, the company are known for their high quality music with the opportunity for community connection. 

The company has reimagined performance spaces - on pontoons on lakes with fireworks, to mini operas at the Avalon Wedding Gardens Tamborine Mountain, on scissor lifts, on balconies of historic homesteads, and SW Queensland wineries, nurseries and race-course pavilions.

And always with the emphasis on communities getting together and sharing good music and laughter.

Opera Eagle’s Nest have performed in excess of 500 concerts in over 50 venues ranging from private homes to International Hotels; on the Gold Coast and Brisbane, Cultural & Civic Centres in major towns to Wineries, Vineyards,  open-air under the stars and pontoons on lakes whilst fireworks displays in-time to the music being performed.
