Following the success of Are You Lonesome Tonight, Opera Queensland takes a deep dive into the Queensland songbook to celebrate some of Australia’s most loved artists. The Saints, Gladys Moncrieff, Savage Garden and Harold Blair are just a few who inspire Lady Sings the Maroons. A mixtape for a road trip from Brisbane to Cunnamulla, Mount Isa to Cairns, Lady Sings the Maroons tells a story about the art of making a great song and the artists who write them. Featuring the phenomenal voices of Jess Hitchcock, Irena Lysiuk and Marcus Corowa, the production tours from April 2023, including a visit to the Festival of Outback Opera.
