See Operatunity’s Three Tenors in Concert!

Claire Mitchell from Operatunity Daytime Concerts

Celebrating some of the greatest singers of all-time including Mario Lanza, Richard Tauber, Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Joan Sutherland, Maria Callas and Dame Kiri.

A programme interspersed with film and great anecdotes, humour and a mix of opera arias like Nessun Dorma, and the Pearl Fishers duet.

Don’t worry, not everything is opera! Featuring melodies such as Tauber’s You are my Hearts Delight and Pedro the Fisherman, and Mario Lanza’s I’ll Walk with God.

As well as our Three Tenors we have Amanda Atlas, star of Opera Australia and New Zealand Opera, Susan Boland and David Kelly, principal accompanist and répétiteur with New Zealand Opera.

While the forecast is looking bright for this weekend (fingers crossed!), we aren't out of the woods ... there are a few more cold fronts lining up before winter hits.

We want to hear from you: What are your go-to rainy-day activities? Whether you’re a local legend at the indoor courts or a professional movie-marathoner, share your secrets with us!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
