Mother’s Day Opera High Tea

If Mum loves a bit of drama (the good kind, not the ‘who left the wet towel on the floor’ kind) then the Mother’s Day Opera High Tea is her dream afternoon. Held in the grand, heritage-listed dining room of the Castlereagh Boutique Hotel, this event is a total throwback to the glamour of yesteryear. You get treated to fully costumed performances of arias and ensembles from the world’s most loved operas and Broadway hits. Mum will be humming along to classics from West Side Story and Phantom of the Opera while tucked into a decadent high tea served during the interval. It’s a 90-minute show that’ll make her feel like she’s in a private salon in 19th-century Europe. There’s sparkling wine on arrival to get the festivities started and the acoustics in the room are absolutely spot on. It’s a sophisticated, cultural, and deeply pampering experience that stands out from the usual lunch crowd. Definitely one for the Mums who appreciate the finer things and a high C over their finger sandwiches. Spots are limited and they sell out every single year, so don’t be a galah and wait until the last minute!
