State Opera heads to the Barossa! 🍷

Mozart’s Don Giovanni follows the notorious Don Giovanni as a lifetime of reckless choices finally catches up with him. Equal parts dark comedy, drama and spectacle, it’s a story packed with passion, intrigue and unforgettable music.

This acclaimed @operaaustralia production opens at the Barossa Arts Centre, inviting audiences to experience world-class opera in one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions. Surrounded by rolling vineyards, award-winning cellar doors and renowned local hospitality, it’s the perfect excuse for a Barossa getaway.

Enjoy a long lunch, savour a glass (or two) of the region’s finest wines, then settle in for Mozart's most exhilarating work.
