And on the 27th, it was Opera in the Park where the Opera Australia put on a performance of Turandot. Memorable for being a pretty good open-air performance of opera.

2. The evening was compered in part by one of the performers with Opera Australia - John Bolton Wood. Commenting upon Mazda sponsorship of the Opera in the Domain, "It's good to see car companies co-operating with opera companies to put on performances. I gather Nissan sponsored the Three Tenors to perform in London. They supported the event down to the smallest detail. Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti's campervan was even supplied. The Nissan Dorma!"

3. Being a Puccini Opera, at least one Soprano is killed off somewhere in the script. Basically a tale of rape, revenge, murder, unrequited love, torture, insanity and sacrifice. Though unlike most Puccini operas, it has a (relatively) happy ending. This was explained away by the fact that Puccini died before finishing the opera and so someone else got to do the ending...
