OPERA AT SUNSET Christine Deacon

The hills came alive with the sound of music last weekend as Opera Eagle’s Nest and the Tamborine Mountain Combined Choir put on a magnificent performance at Cedar Creek Winery. The backdrop of autumn colours, the sunshine and the sounds of beautiful singing made for a superb day for the large audience.

The event was organized by the Tamborine Mountain Residents Association to raise funds for Careflight which provides life saving support to residents of Tamborine Mountain and much of South East Queensland. A number of other charities also benefited.

The Governor of Queensland Ms Quentin Bryce opened the event as part of Queensland Week and said she loved coming up to Tamborine Mountain and the happy memories she associated with the mountain.

The soprano Sarah Crane, comes from singing the lead in Romeo and Juliet for Opera Queensland.Together with Glenn Lorimer Tenor, Lionel Theunissen, Baritone and Soprano Tania Edmonds they performed a 4 hour program of pieces from popular opera and operetta including many of the ABC’s Top 100 Opera Favorites from a recent polling.

OPERA AT SUNSET
On Sunday 4th June at 11 am
Cedar Creek Winery
104 Hartley Rd
Mt Tamborine
I'm singing in the chorus for my opera debut. It's a fund raiser for the Careflight helicopter service which we depend on to get us off the mountain in an emergency. Since I had a heart attack in 2000, I'm right behind this fund raiser and I'm singing to say thank you to those dedicated people who saved my life.
It promises to be a spectacular event. Rumour has it that its Queensland Week's first event and Mr Beattie is going to get a shave!

Tickets can be purchased from qtix 136246 or Cedar Creek Winery 5545 1666

WHAT IS AGNIHOTRA?

Agnihotra is an Indian fire ceremony of ancient origin which comes from the Vedas, ancient books of wisdom.

It is performed by participants at sunrise and sunset and is accompanied by two mantras chanted as an offering is made to the fire. The fire is made using dried cow dung as fuel and the ghee assists the burning. Ghee is also used for the offering of unbroken rice which is wrapped in ghee. It is a practice which heals the atmosphere and then heals the practioner. Thousands of people all over the world are performing agnihotra and many have had miraculous healing of many illnesses. The process of healing the earth this way is called Homa Therapy and uses ash from the fires performed.
