Barefoot Opera

So what is Barefoot Opera? Practicing alone is great and all, but even better than that is the opportunity to show off what you’ve been working on! And even betterer (yes we know that’s not a word) than that is singing together with the Springboard Opera community!

One of the hardest parts of developing as a singer, is finding a platform to practice your performance skills. Barefoot Opera is all about bringing together opera singers (and opera lovers) in a supportive environment where you get a chance to air out repertoire, take performance risks, and cheer as loud as possible for your fellow singers. We provide the pianist and the venue, you bring yourself, your voice and some friends to sing an absolute banger of an opera chorus or two.

How much does it cost? This event is a “pay what you can” event, where the price of the ticket is up to you. We believe experiences like this should not be prohibited by cost. You’ll find a link to purchase tickets here, they’ll be available for purchase on the day too.

Who can attend? Absolutely anyone! You, your Mum, your Uncle’s Cousin twice removed. You get the idea. P.S. You don’t have to be a singer, just someone that enjoys opera.

When and where is it?

2pm on the 21st of January at the fabulously retro Clubhouse Moorooka, 76 Koala Road.

Will food and drink be available?

There will be food trucks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages available.

How do I register to sing a solo piece?

Got something you need to air out? We’ll provide the accompanist, you just need to register via the website and send through your sheet music. On the day, the order of singers will be randomly assigned.

How does it work on the day?

• Step 1. Purchase a ticket via the website and come along to Clubhouse Moorooka on Sunday arvo (2pm, 21st of Jan) with some mates.
• Step 2. Enjoy the retro atmosphere, grab some food and a cheeky drink or two.
• Step 3. Let us take you through an opera chorus to get you warmed up.
• Step 4. If you’re feeling brave, get up and sing your heart out. We’ll all be cheering you on!
• Step 5. Go home on a high with another rollicking chorus to end the evening.
