Oscar-nominated coloratura soprano Sumi Jo will headline Opera Queensland’s (OQ) fifth Festival of Outback Opera as part of the company’s newly announced 2025 season.
Other highlights of the season, details of which were launched today (Tuesday 19 November) include a new staging of Puccini’s bohemian love story La bohème for Brisbane Festival, co-produced with West Australian Opera; the return of the Brisbane Bel Canto Festival, now in its second year; and the continuation of OQ’s Studio Series, featuring intimate, cabaret-style performances and exclusive recitals that bridge the classical and the modern.
