We share this performance to mark the end of National Reconciliation Week 27 May – 3 June 2020. 3 June also commemorates the 1992 High Court Mabo Decision.

Opera Queensland acknowledges the First Peoples of the Lands across Queensland upon which we perform. We pay our respects to all of Queensland’s First Peoples, their ancestors and Elders and to our shared future.
